Assumptions

Assumptions

5/19/2012

Don’t ever—Assume—anything

Because most likely you are wrong.

There are so many presumptions made

Which should not stay too long.

People assume—Too often—

At things they cannot know,

Often things in people’s lives

Are things they may not show.

The kid who often misses school

May actually be sick.

You—CANNOT—just assume

That they like to ditch.

That quiet—silent—girl in the corner,

Is most likely very shy.

People often think she’s arrogant

But I always wonder why.

There’s a boy whose sleeves are long,

His wrists are jagged and cut,

What’s in his life you cannot know

Have you even taken the time to ask?

There is no way for us to know

So Assumptions—are often made.

So if you even care at all

Extend a hand in aid.

Assumptions are a poison,

It travels through the veins

Of society—where we like to think

That we hold onto the reigns.

But that is not true

So it’s all up to you

To find out what’s right

And use all of your might

To change.
