Perception is not concrete.
First we are raped.
Then we are blamed.
As if we not already feeling ashamed.
Just because we want to feel good about ourselves for a day.
And then in that one instance, your cruel words take that away.
It doesn't give anyone the right, to degrade us in that way.
After its done, it's over, and through for you.
You don't see the pain and hell that we go through.
It leaves our minds reeling, and thinking what did we do?
You take away all our dignity and pride.
To the point, where we just want to hide.
There are even points, where you wish you had died.
That's just being honest, it's just matter of fact.
Why can't people think before they speak, just use a little tact.
Not everyone is so unkind, I just get tired of how the others act.
