Words Help Heal, Or Hurt

Words Help Heal, Or Hurt
Written: by Miracle Man

Communication is a two way street,
it requires both talking and listening.
Meshing the two can sometimes be a feat,
when one party insists on whispering. 

Some tickle my ears saying things untrue,
uttering words, they think, I’d like to hear.
Communicating words I misconstrue,
uttered words linger, they don't disappear. 

“Many people today don’t want honest answers
insofar as honest means unpleasant or disturbing.
They want a soft answer that turneth away anxiety.”
Louis Kronenberger
