Incision With Precision

Little boys learn to fight using their tightened fists to throw a punch, Throwing rocks, or tripping someone at lunch. Little girls have a much more subtle and longer-lasting effect, Using their words to leave bruises, using their words to gossip and mince and dissect. Words, if used wrongly, can leave a scar - not on the body but on the mind, Words, spoken harshly, you cannot un-do, you cannot unwind. I ask that you reconsider how carefully you use your words, that you would think them through, Because it really hurts when someone uses their words as a weapon on you.
