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.

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.

words....words are weapons, they pierce so deeply, can hurt so deeply even the strongest of men

[Brittany Zedalis]

Exactly! Thank you for reading

Words are weapons, yes. And as you said, they can save you as well as break you. But I guess, it won't be difficult to turn it around and use them to shield ourselves against the world.

[Brittany Zedalis]

Yeah..Thank you for reading!

Sometimes words can hurt more than any physical pain you can endure.
