The words you could not say

How often do you meet someone who (almost) never apologises? Or admits they're wrong? And if you show compassion and empathy towards them, the greater their unyielding behaviour? Remember that if you're a good person and you set a high standard of treating others well, you have to accept that some people refuse to see the Light. They lack emotional maturity and enlightenment. The best you can do is show the way to a better world, forgive them, and move on. The words you could not say By Michelle Morris 15/02/2025 There are so many words out there There are so many words inside You think you can hide from the Light You think your Demons will keep you right But you forget what happens To those who refuse to show the Good Slowly but surely they become colder Their hearts iced towards Humanhood Those Demons that you harbour They are your constant passengers from the Dark They'll snatch up any Joy you experience They'll try to kill your Soul's Spark And the words you could not say Yes, the words you would not say They'll be carved inside your Soul They'll etch that Blackness every day Over Time you'll forget your Essence The "I'm sorry" and "I was wrong" moments merging The Silence each and every time Allows those Demons who are converging And one day you'll realise you're alone You've isolated anyone who ever cared You'll be trapped in the Abyss of Darkness Feeling cold and sad and scared I hope that when you reach that Dark Space That you'll consider believing in the Light That God and His Angels exist for all That you can try to appreciate their Kindness For there may still be a chance for you To escape the Fates of Hellfire By cleansing your Heart and Soul And asking for Forgiveness for your ire Because that deep Rage you carried That Bitterness and Unkindness It stole your Empathy and Compassion Left you behind a Wall of Emotional Blindness And the words you could not say Yes, the words you would not say They'll be carved inside your Soul Unless Love and Light wash it away Only you can change your Ending Only you can become Good and Kind Embracing Empathy and Compassion Using the right words that touch Hearts and Minds © Michelle Morris, 2025
