Words Hurt

Actions always have consequences
So please think before you do
Because pain at my emotional expense
Shouldn't be resulting from you

You also don't know what I hear
So think twice before you speak
Otherwise my death could be nearer
From your inflammatory critique

You haven't walked in my shoes
Or even felt an ounce of my pain
I don't want your mental abuse
I'm just here trying to stay sane

You may try to make the biggest splash
But I feel the ripples from your current
With your attitude and behavior so brash
Even the smallest of your words hurt
