Toxic Taste

Your words and actions have caused the blood shed 
From them the false perceptions have been fed 

In her life the stain has been made 
You can not take it back 
For others you have managed to persuade 

She now has an army to go against 
But instead in her thoughts she stays fenced 

In a world she feels hated
 trying to cope With the feelings of being jaded 

You took away the only thing in her life that was stable 
And now many people just give her a label 

Hard and harsh and over direct,
But no one thinks about their affect

When problems arise she is never given an opportunity 
Before being judged by an entire community 

You assume she wouldn’t be able to handle 
And her light is put out quicker than the flame of a candle ?? 

Told she is mean and angered 
But what really caused that 
Is her mental health you endangered.
