Show Some Humanity

When something is wrong, do you stand for what is right?

Put your hand on his neck and squeeze,

That’s his punishment for not saying excuse me, right?

Because when someone does something wrong,

You’re meant to knock them to the ground,

Why treat someone with compassion,

When violence is such a quicker method.

He isn’t as aware as you or I,

But does that really make him any less of a person?

Since he doesn’t feel heat,

He can’t feel the bruise you gave him by choking.

That must be what you are thinking.

He doesn’t get the fact that what you’re doing is wrong,

Even if you were to beat him, already senseless,

His heart is too big to do anything in return,

He’s such a good guy, that even though he is very strong,

Powerful enough to knock the teeth out of your mouth,

He would never lift his hand to you, his caretaker,

If you can still be called that.

Making him drink so much water he starts to gag on the tasteless liquid,

Using what little money he is given from his eight hour week job,

Instead of the food stamps he is provided.

Making foods you know he hates,

But having to eat them anyway, because it’s either that or starve.

I don’t know how someone like you,

Was given permission to care for this great person,

Does he talk too much?

He’s socially awkward?

With the amazingly kind personality he has, there needs to be flaws,

After all, he is only human.

And you, I have never met, are this monster,

I picture you with white fangs in a cruel smile,

Big hands to hurt and handle,

I see a visage of a man long forgotten.

I wish I could stop you,

From hurting this innocent man with your misplaced anger,

I could yell and scream at you obscenities,

Cry and beg for you to show some humanity,

If I could ever meet you,

Somehow get you alone,

I would wrap my hands around your throat and...

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
