Poking Fun

I hold back. Won't say a word. Pretend all you said, remains unheard. Your pleasant little quip played havoc bite upon my lip. So cool, so clever, so curt and comedic created hurt with words encyclopedic. What did you say, it was just fun? Not when you hurt someone. Even words are abusive when the people become exclusive. Closing yourself up and shutting the world out never to truly know what each of us is all about. Open your mind. Clear your thoughts and fears to find the world is too full of tears from words unkind. Look in your heart and know each of us has yielded hurtful blows. Start the clock again everyone is the same in the end.
