Words
Words
A single word
The power contained within
To inflict a great wound
Said in anger
Or said with malice
Said without regard for ones feelings
Sharper than any two edged sword
More powerful than any gun
Causing a hurt so deep
Ones very core of being aches
Leaving a marred soul that never heals
Causing bitterness and inflicting that pain on others
The power to take life without touch
The power of a word
A single word
The power contained within
To inflict a great wound
Said in anger
Or said with malice
Said without regard for ones feelings
Sharper than any two edged sword
More powerful than any gun
Causing a hurt so deep
Ones very core of being aches
Leaving a marred soul that never heals
Causing bitterness and inflicting that pain on others
The power to take life without touch
The power of a word

Thank you, Miki, for taking the time to both read and comment on this. Words, as all of on here are all too aware, can be so powerful and so damaging.

I like what you're trying to say here. It's a great concept. I feel (IMO) that it could be a lot sharper and harder. This feels more like the bones of something that could be awesome.

Indie, thank you so much for taking the time to both read and comment on this. On reflection, I totally agree that it could do with some work, I take on bourd the concept that it could be a launch pad for a potentially much harder, more indepth write. I will consider it to be a work in progress.

sticks & stones the say
but words leave the mind in disarray
& with a wounded mind
peace becomes too hard to find
all because of words that hit so hard
leaving the victim with nothing positive to regard

Goodest, you write it so much more succinctly in your comment than I managed with the piece. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment on this.
