Assumptions

That girl you see walking With her head down And a hand covering her face? Has severe insecurities. The boy who always Avoids touching others That you touch just because? Has microphobia. That girl who you Make fun of For wearing long sleeves all the time? Is hiding the bruises from her dad. The boy who dates A different girl Every week? Is gay and unaccepted by his parents. That girl who laughs too loudly At things That aren’t even funny? I trying to hide her depression. The boy you make fun of For cutting himself? Is being raped at home By his mother. That girl you hate Because she’s always surrounded by friends? Suffers from the fear Of being alone. The boy who gets on your nerves Because he acts stupid For attention in class? Gets ignored by his parents. The girl you call “****” Because she’s sixteen And pregnant? Got raped during a house burglary. Never make assumptions about Anyone other than yourself Because you never know What someone else is going through. ~C.L.C.
