Words

Bullying, essentially.

Words

Words creeping into the

Back of my mind

Into my soul

Words tearing at my heart

Words slithering in between

Truth and lies

Words pounding

In my brain

Breaking down walls

I didn't even know

Were there

Words

Powerful things

Words can heal

Even the most

Fragile of people

Or shatter what's left

Of their being

Words

Words are weapons

I always feel like this is how I feel when I need to write. It's like words just keep pounding at you until you get your feelings down on to paper. It's only then that I may find peace.

Love this poem! I could really relate to it. It's true that words can be tools and weapons.

[Brittany Zedalis]

I wrote this back when someone was constantly bullying me and I needed to get my feelings out. Thankfully that time has passed and at least one of my favorite poems of my own resulted from it. Thank you so much for reading.

true indeed, words are the most powerful weapon on earth, people hardly realise that, if they did they would be more careful with their choice of words, well written.

[Brittany Zedalis]

They really are. Thank you!

Words and how they are used.
How they can be powerful and damaging.

Our words and our thoughts hold far more power than we realize, so true. Profound write.

I like your non-rhyming style...great song. Bullies need to be quartered and fed their own medicine. Good rant of a read Brittany.

[Brittany Zedalis]

Thank you! Rhyming used to be the only thing I ever wrote, but after this one poured out of me, I realized I really like writing without rhyming.

[Brook]
