Talented Curses

To know what you shouldn’t. To know what’ll happen if you don’t do something. To know you have the power in your hands. To know you can alter reality with one word. To know what’s going through another’s thoughts. To know what they’re about to say, Each and every day… To feel the pain that shudders through one’s body. To feel the fear from a mile away. To feel the last breath that’s taken in. To feel death when it’s very near. To feel the never-ending heartache. To feel when someone needs, And dealing with the fact that no one cares… To hear the cries of a dying child. To hear the agony of a woman being raped. To hear the spiteful words of a teenager. To hear a riot unfold for the sake of death. To hear someone you love say they hate you. To hear the hurtful words that drives a man to suicide, Screaming what it takes to not run and hide… To change things when you had the chance. To change a world of hate. To change past regrets to have other consequences. To change your heart to benefit someone else. To change your beliefs to make you a better person. To change when no one else wants to… For these are what talented curses seem to do.
