I wish people could understand how much words can hurt.

I wish they could know the damage they do to the self-esteem of others.

That they might know that after those words, they cannot sleep for the thoughts repeating those words, that their tears run down their faces only breaking the most.

No matter how many tears come out of your eyes, you still feel bad about yourself, you wonder what you did wrong.

Losing their self-confidence, starting to hate themselves, starting to hide under a smile of false happiness.

Because all those things happen when you decide to make fun of someone, but I think very few manage to understand that.

That is why I would like people to understand the double-edged sword that words can become.
