Words

Our minds, bodies, and souls are weak,
beat up and torn from awful words we speak.
Yet people take for granted what they say,
not caring that people feelings are at bay.
These words we speak are so powerful and strong,
why is it that we take advantage and use them wrong.
What will it take for us to see,
don't get me wrong this does include me,
that what you say to someone aren't just words said.
Exspecially when those words make folks not
want to leave their bed.
We all know how hurtful words can be...
I know, cause yesterdays words today still
hurt me.
