Hey you over there!

Hey you over there you have toilet paper stuck to your shoe. Hey girl with the big smile your big scary boyfriend is outside beeping his horn impatiently for you. Hey bill your mother's in the hall yelling she looks like she's had a little too much to drink it's a little early for that don't you think. Hey mean girl hating me won't make you prettier. Hey jock I can still sense your insecurities as you sprint off to make that touch down. Hey you I've had the biggest crush on you because I thought you had a lot of money, but now that I know you don't bye bye. Hey you I know you get off on making other people feel small, but that doesn't make you a bigger person at all. Hey you, you should just come out of the closet because breaking girls hearts is not cool if he's what you really want then go for it. Hey you there I'm sure underneath all that foundation you're a pretty girl but you drown yourself in it so we can't see you. And lastly I will address me always quick to judge someone and I am light years away from perfect myself. The first instinct upon meeting someone is to judge them. But I will resolve to reserve judgement and that will make way for getting to know people for who they really are and not what I perceive them to be.

Silence

Silence. What is it silence? The sound that comes after a storm that has blown down twenty one trees and taken three lives. It's the sound that's left in your home after your wife of ten years takes the kids and drives off into the sunset.It's the sound made by an old oak that falls in the forest when there is no one around to hear it. It's the sound that resounds between two lovers in the night as they peer out over a peak just off lovers lane. Love is silent. Love is unspoken love is not boastful and love is not loud. It lives on in silence like just after the tide sloshes onto the beach at dawn. Silence is the sound you hear as the sun rises over the beaches of Montego Bay. Silent are the first foot steps of the toddler on the plush carpet. Silent is the woman just after her lover tells her he's leaving her. Why does silence make so much noise! I was silent after Tony left me that dreadful evening. But that silence invoked the noise of my sobs two nights later after the meaning of that dangerous silence sank in. So what is silence? Silence is painful. Silence is forgiving. Silence can pressure you. Silence is powerful. It's the sound that's worth a million words all while saying nothing.
