Scarring Words

Words The things they do The fights they cause The hate they create And the love they spread For good or bad For right or wrong For the right and the good Is where words belong Some words may cut like a knife And leave a bleeding wound That will forever be scarred Other words may heal Build another up And change the way you feel The wrong words you say Is a risk you take To leave a scar The words you let slip Should always be kind And should always be defined As loving, caring, and good Never leave a scar from the words you say Because the scar you’ve caused Will ALWAYS come back to cut you ~5/1/2018
