Words You Can't Take Back

Listen to poem:
We have all had that moment of frustration We search for words that hurt out of desperation Having a hard time sorting out our feelings That's the moment we become harsh in our dealings There are times we fight to be understood Wishing we can take back the words if we could It doesn't pay to speak out when we're mad We say things that leave scars which is bad Relationships are lost and love isn't regained Scars can heal but the words always remain Your emotions are running high don't go no further Whatever you say at present can ruin the future When it comes to anger it's an honest and true fact Never say anything you know you can't take back

Love it Keyonda. If I were to offer any advice I would change line 10 to read: Wounds can heal but the scars will always remain. I noticed your poems tend to have a moral bent to them. Are you a Bible reader?
