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.
