Check Yourself (A Message For Bullies)

When you call someone a name
When you are mean to someone
Are you doing it more to hurt them
Or to make yourself
Feel better
Do you come up with reasons
Excuses for how you are treating them
Without even
Taking the time
To get to know them
I bet if you took the time
To get to know
Who they really are
On the inside
You would be surprised
If you judge only
Based on what you see
On the outside
You never get
The whole story
So the next time
You want to judge someone
First check yourself
And actually take the time
To get to know
Who they are on the inside
If you do that
I promise you will be surprised
