Words pierce like no bullet ever could.
When words smack you in the head, they become a part of you.
They do not kill you, they create you.
Words can strike from afar.
Words need no explosion to have an area of effect.
Words pierce like no bullet ever can.
When words rattle your bones, they come form you as a being.
They have not slain you, they remade you.
Words lash to hide scars.
Words need no permission to be a way without a reason.
Words pierce like no bullet ever will.

The impact of words can cause pain
As they batter your body and brain;
But if you are keen,
And absorb what they mean,
You'll see how much wisdom you gain.

Only if you let them.

Beautifully written once again my friend. What insight only a few scribbles can allow to us.

And LukeJavan8 you are so true in what you are saying. But it is through ignorance that words are perverted, and mistreating words causes others to do the same. Most do not look up a definition if it looks like something they do not understand they speculate that it is wrong and move on. I wish I had a giant library of words available to me to read and study. But then again, Here I am. I am a bum. Aren't you?

which, of course, folks like us belong to sites like this.
Learn new words and ways to use them.


ps I like your avatar.

Thank you friend! It is what brings harmony to life. A flower that sounds your mind.
