How Easy Pain Can Be

Physical pain is easy

Bruises heal

Wounds become scars

It's the words that dig

And claw at you even when you think you're over it

Even when you see happiness 

Even when light comes into the distance

The pain threatens to take all

You have

You hope for

Away

The physical

Bring it on

I'll fight 

But as for the words

The more I crumble

The more the voices

Tear me down

Taking me strand by strand

Replacing the bruises

Ripping open the scars 

Words 

Use them carefully

Words have legacies of their own. Effects and sound that reverberate back and forth in your head and heart long after they are said. They used to say "sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me." One the biggest lies ever fed to us. Words indeed can be extremely powerful tools depending on how they're used. This bring about a great topic. The poems flows well with a good rhythm and took me from beginning to end seamlessly, This is one is a definite keeper. Great work! :)
