The Comment Section - Sidewalk Prophets

Somebody posted something

Somebody disagreed

Somebody started typing things

They probably didn’t mean

And now my heart is breaking

As I read every word

Sticks and stones are nothing

Compared to how this hurts

We all wanna know we matter

We all wanna know we’re loved

More the same than we are different

Desperate just to be enough

But it’s like we’ve all forgotten

How much we’re all connected

When I read the comment section

I’ve been the harshest critic

I have bullied like a king

Tyrannical and comfortable

Here behind a screen

We all have our politics

But politics aside

All of us are only human

With a fragile heart inside

We all wanna know we matter

We all wanna know we’re loved

More the same than we are different

Desperate just to be enough

But it’s like we’ve all forgotten

How much we’re all connected

When I read the comment section

Love your enemy

Be kind above all things

Imagine what this world could be

We all wanna know we matter

We all wanna know we’re loved

More the same than we are different

Desperate just to be enough

Yeah, it’s like we’ve all forgotten

How much we’re all connected
