Upset Souls

People hurt each other unnecessary,
There are bullies all around,
There is so much pain we give to each other,
Without needing to,
People who go thinking they are not loved,
People who go thinking that they don’t matter,
People who believe they are not good enough,
Or could ever be good enough,
People who feel the hurt so deep in their hearts,
And in their souls,
That there is no answer,
That all there is nothing around them,
They hurt and hurt,
They cut,
They bleed,
They sometimes even give up their life,
When will we all stop and realize,
When will we all stop and see?
When will we look deeper?
Then what is on the surface?
When will we take that chance?
Take that chance to see something deeper,
Then what is outside,
After all beauty is really more than skin deep,
Looking around,
Seeing these things,
Upsets the heart of me,
Because I feel the compassion,
I understand the pain,
I know what it is like to be judged,
For things only from the outside,
And not given a chance to see,
What might lay inside of me,
Lately it seems the news is filled,
With people hurting each other,
There are wars all around,
Personal ones,
Spiritual ones,
Belief ones,
And so many others,
There is just so much out there,
So many people that could use,
Use having encouragement,
Use to being told there is something wonderful,
Something great,
That they are worth something,
That they have something to live for,
Given hope,
Shown that they are beautiful,
And so many more things,
So, when will we stop?
Stop all the hateful things?
Take an actual moment,
Put ourselves in their shoes,
See how their life has been,
And give them hope that they are cared for,
That they are loved,
That it isn’t too late,
To shine,
To make a difference,
And when they see another,
Being upset through those means,
They will remember the kindness,
Reach out there hand,
And show another,
That even through hurt,
Even through strife,
Even being upset,
That there is light,
There is hope,
And there is beauty within.
