Words cutting deep

Sometimes I wonder If I’m living a lie I sit back in silence As each day passes by I ponder every word you release Most of your words Are words that cut deep I’ve learned over time Not to hold what you say I let them go easy So they don’t penetrate Sick of your ego Fed up with your pride It marks up your character Makes you ugly inside There once was a time When I held you so high You were golden before To your flaws I was blind Slowly you showed me The thoughts in your head They gained full control As you lie in our bed What a shame to see A good heart waste away Unrestrained actions Weakness portrayed I stand up and fight Against hate you release Guarding my heart From words that cut deep They are words from a darkness Seeking lost souls Consuming the light That each of us holds Those who are weak Should be led by the strong Knowledge brings wisdom Like proverbs and psalms Always remember to be careful with speech Let these words penetrate Teach those who are weak Choose your words wisely And one day you’ll see Caring words are much better Than words that cut deep
