Think Before you Speak

Location

"You'll Survive"

"Suck it up!"

"Work harder"

"Can't you be better?'

What do you want from me?

I try my best

and work my hardest

Why can't I be anyones godess?

Tell me you love me

Tell me you care

Or maybe I'll just take off,

hopping like a hare.

You don't know what runs through my head.

Think before you speak,

it might just ruin my week.

This is so awesome! I love how you made the format, the words growing bigger as if starting as a whisper and getting louder. There are so many hurtful things that are said to us throughout our lives but I think those things should be use so that we may push past them and create and become beautiful things- create things like this great poem. Thank you for sharing this piece.
