What Annoys My Brain

What annoys me is...
People who judge others
At the first second before
They know the person.

They take one look at someone and say...
You’re not popular
That person won’t amount to anything
So you bully them for your own benefit
To feel like you’re the boss to gain power
By taking away someone else’s
By filling up the other person with so much fear that
They will soon explode
Just so you and your bystanders can have a few
Seconds of enjoyment
Then you go torment someone else
Until they do the same.

I can’t comprehend how destroying someone’s life
Making them so scared and feeling so worthless
They retreat into a corner
They stop talking to anyone
And they just give up.

Wouldn’t you carry the guilt forever?
I know that I would
But my question is would you?
