When Words Hurt

you can keep it to yourself
 or you can share it all around
 one can breath it as a song
 so we can get along

 words can hurt when you least expect it
 you can say that your fat
 some folks tend to over react
 yet who are they anyways

 be real as God made you to be
 don't be greedy for any money
 what is my one last final plea
 let your words be few

 where as others haven't a single clue
 they love the best seats in the house
 seeking self to please
 stop spreading its vain but ugly disease
