Words Hurt

by Cindy   Feb 22, 2007


Wishing I had not read those words
Would rather be alone in my mind
Feeling like I've been here forever
Wanting to stay, wishing to be blind

Things people say can change your day
Words can hurt more than anything
Some let them spill without a care
Not realizing the damage it brings

Saying thoughts within your mind
Without reviewing before they spurt
Always think before you speak
You will avoid someone being hurt

The world would be a better place
If we thought before we spoke
Looking to see how we would feel
If it was our hearts being broke

    Just as a kind word can make someone's day, an unkind one can break it. People should think about what they say or type before doing so. Each is entitled to their own opinion and interpretation but when yours puts another down I have to say what my mom taught me:

    If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!!!!!!

    Sometimes the most beautiful poems come straight form the heart and do not have to have perfect rhythm, rhyme. They also do not require others to use a dictionary to interpret. Sometimes simple is enough!!

    This is so true and so beautifully written. its so sad and hurtful when people don't think before they speak...and so many people dont realise the pain their words can cause. i think everyone can learn from this poem...including me. well done =)
