AN: This is probably the most emotional rap song I EVER EVER heard!!! You definitely should give it a listen because it also relates to the poem.

Did you know that kindness goes a long way?
Then why don't you incorporate them in what you say?
You can't keep treating people like they're lower than you
Because if their wellbeing is compromised, you'll suffer too.

You pushed that girl today and she fell down the stairs
You punched another boy and he came crashing on those chairs
You told one of the girls that her face looks weird
You didn't care that they were hurt or that they teared

You told a group of girls that they were ugly and too  fat
You pushed a boy into a pool when you said you wanted to "chat"
You made fun of another boy because he was helpless and blind
And when others laughed at him, you didn't seem to mind

You didn't care that you ripped his brand new white shirt
You didn't care that these people were humiliated and hurt
You didn't care because you never thought that they would cry
You didn't even anticipate that one of them might actually die

And that's what happened one fateful sunny day
Young Brianna was ice cold where she lay
Empty pill bottles filled the drawers by her side
While the actual demons attacked her from the inside

She took her own life because she couldn't stand it anymore
She couldn't stand that she kept being pushed to the door
She couldn't stand that humiliation and the unbearable pain
She couldn't erase your words that wounded her heart like a stain

So now you're astonished, sulking in sorrow and dismay
You stopped interacting ever since that fateful day
You didn't know they took it seriously; the things you said
And now because of you, one innocent girl is dead

Try to taste your own words before you spit them out
Because they can emotionally scar someone - no doubt
Try to spread love instead of violence and you'll see
That the happiness you give is worth seeing; wouldn't you agree??
