When something bad happens you have three choices. You can either let it define you, let it destroy you or you can let it strengthen you.

Everyone judges someone
If it is meant to hurt or meaningless
People don't realize what they've done

That person might have ignored it
That person might have let it take them done
That person might have created more s***
But it isn't to be crowned

People pull that chain
Really it's meant to be harmless
But some people strangle others with that chain
Putting them to the ground, with nothing

Either way it isn't right
Yet we do it anyway
But what if that person can't get up
Are you there to help them off the ground

What if the last thing that person heard
Was the judgments you had to say
What if your the reason they aren't here today
