Harsh Words
Harsh words said.
Feelings hurt.
Yet I do not know,
How it all began.
Why did I burst.
Now I feel like dirt.
Hateful Words like released arrows
Can never be taken back.
Emotions came flooding;
Like river from a broken dam.
Destroying everything;
Nothing stood a chance.
Grief followed anger,
Guilt replaced arrogance.
A moment's silence
Could have averted it all.
Even after mindless devastation;
My pride is not giving in.
To defeat my ego,
I muster courage and apologize.
