Things They'll Never Understand

They'll never understand that you don't have to snap

To be heard.

They'll never understand that their astounding rudeness

Cruelty

Hatred

Discriminatory remarks

Hurt actual people

GASP

Actually reach into the heart of someone who did nothing to deserve them

And prick it

Over and over

Until the pricking becomes stabbing

And they deal damage like this is real-life Fortnite.

Their anger

At themselves

Is reflected outward

To teachers

Classmates

Real people

With real feelings

But they don't care.

They'll never understand what it feels like to have to live with them

Every day

On and on

Continuously.

Maybe they should look at themselves.

Peek in the mirror.

They stare at themselves for hours in that thing every morning

But they never look further than the outside.

They'll never understand

That where free reign is given

They will take

And take

And take

Advantage.

They'll never understand true friendship

Bonded by the horrible environment created by

Them

Forced together but sticking like glue because

How could we love anyone else?

They'll never understand

Because they refuse to.

They'll never understand when one of the only sources

Of happiness

Of freedom

Is words

Or a friend's smile

Or a spelling list.

They'll never understand 

Because they refuse to care.
