Its Not All Fun and Laughs

Why do you judge people
and stereotype
you are hurting the people around you.
You may not mean it,
but your jokes hurt just as much.
The kid in the back
who's quiet,
he listens,
he hears you.
He can't see your face
and see you joking.
You just triggered something inside him.
His heart pounds
he zones out
and over thinks every possible detail in his life.
His mind goes numb
and he can't stop the anxiety that's overflowing inside.
All of this happened in just the few minutes since
you stopped talking.
And you didn't know
what just happened
what you caused.
You don't know the pain
that you can cause
by just joking around.
