Words
With a few words you can make someone suffer,
Confuse them and blind them
With a few words
You can weave a web of lies.
Or you can give them joy,
Blind happiness
But in an instant you can take it away
Gone, for almost forever
No happiness,
What happens when word hurt you,
When words of pain are uttered to you?
Burning at you,
Hurting you
Then you begin to feel empty,
Hollow inside, full of nothing
Even when you have joyus things
There is no more happiness.
No matter
You still feel nothing
Not happy nor sad.
Just nothing, empty.
Next time,
Before speaking,
Think,
Are your words Prudent?
