I just then know how powerful words can be
when I have these realizations.
Almost every day I can see suicidal posts on social
media and that makes me think of it a lot.
Little did I know I'm starting to be corrupted too.
Personal issues, stressful works on school and toxic social
media makes it worse. To the extent that I even try to
consider it. But I'm weak and afraid that's why I just write
poems and stories.
But now as I realized a lot of things.
I'm starting to write poems to lift other's burden
and give hope into their life through words. I can't even
write sad stories because I'm feeling too ecstatic.
My experience gave me a lesson that we should
be responsible to whatever we say or post on the social
media for we are accountable for it. We should take into
consideration the people who will see it and what would
be its consequences.
