Ugly Words

Your words ripped her apart, you are beautiful but they judge her from afar, she walks around with a scarred heart. Her feelings of hating the world , her days of being tormented never led up. The feeling of abuse and abandonment has broken her heart. A knife through the back is how she felt living in the world, you are loved, but they keep on with their ugly words. The bridge she walks, they throw stones to knock her off, why am I so hated in the world?

A look into the mirror she wishes it shatters apart, her hate grow more for the world. The acts of bullying kills the heart, your ugly words wasn't funny at all.
Words can break you, makes you feel low about yourself. Your words can become a beast to somebody thoughts, the sword of the tongue can kill you. Where is the beauty of your words, like a Georgia peach, let your words be sweet to the world. Ugly words kills the heart.

Ugly words DO kill the heart! The notion that "sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me" is a lie. Words are powerful and so effective in putting across messages. I am a victim of this as I was emotionally bullied a lit when I was younger, thank you for telling this girl's story and also mine! Incredible

Jamad, I've read three beautiful poems written by you so far, this one quite profound. I shall keep on reading. People can be like a pack of dogs fighting over a bone (gossip) sometimes. What they fail to realise is, "there for the grace of God, go I." We are not here to compete in this life, we are here to collaborate. I posted this onto one of my other poems recently.

Thank you, thanks for the words of your truth. When you doing something you love there's no competing in life.
