Sullied
Left to fester by such harshness spewed
Teared remnants expel as they're purged
I'd rather be bloodied and bruised
Than punched with the cruelty of words
Place a blow of a clenched fist to my face
Over lines that weaken and perforate
The physical over mental , given any straits
Than inflictions on my mind as they seratte
Be verbal, written or those unreciprocated
Words hurled as weapons, annihilate
Render me guilty, same as being violated
An ability to love or scorn is within our fate

I never understood the meaning of derogatory unpolite, or unapologetic ill-fated words we all adopt the creed once a sorry has been accepted, least all is forgiven, but the heart truly never forgets, I think you have crafted your poem with such grace and positive receptive intentions

Thank you, precious one. I've once been this person when my feelings were hurt & it adds no value to the situation. I've also played victim for many years with undo need.

Words can be worse than a punch to the face. We both fight with our words at times 😁 wonderful ink, friend.
