People Assume Too Much

by Waina Honey   Jan 24, 2015


Eyes on her
Mouths gossiping
All people stop and stare
Baby crying
Girl aged 15
Only a girl, a teen
People cursing
The baby is a blessing
Nobody knows
She was raped at 13

People assume too much

Kids bullying
He's crying
Fat jokes
He's dying
Nobody knows
He has an eating disorder

People assume too much

Ugly Sally
They called her
Scars ruled her face
What a pity
People dress like her on Halloween
She's not a cartoon character
She's a human being
A fire dated back
She helped save her grandmother
Instead of people calling her a heroe
They called her 'Ugly Sally - The Bizarre'

People assume too much

    People assume too much, no doubt. Though in a way the act of assuming is not a bad thing, but the act of judging without trying to help can be. That's why I like that you said "too much" instead of saying people just assume. By saying "too much" it sorts of agrees with what I think that the act of assuming is not a bad thing.

    As you can see I like the repetition of people assume too much. Well done.
