Double Edged Sword

the tongue is a double edged sword nothing hurts more than the spoken word harsh words can cut clear to the bone sometimes it's better just to be alone I'd rather be beaten with sticks or with stones battered and bruised with broken bones than to have my heart ripped out, torn and tattered and treated as if my feelings don't even matter so take your harsh words that cut like a knife and control your tongue, I don't need the strife all that I ask for is a little respect so choose your words wisely, try using some tact I too have feelings, just the same as you and your words leave me with open wounds so think about others before you speak and about the havoc your words can wreak always be aware of the feelings and needs of others and think before you speak cause you never know the hurt you may cause
