Words that cut

Words cut, worlds shook, heart tore up, pages of a discarded book
confetti in the air the phrases float there, sharpened they hook
get deep under the skin, tear scraps free, torturing
teasing, tripping up, they spit you out, a constant murmuring

Words can breach the defences, leave you under attack
under fire from an army you cant seem to fight back
the bullets pierce the air, can never dodge them all
without your shields you are bound to fall

Words sting, the sharpened edge of the blade, cold steel
stabs deep into your soul, leaves a hole, that cant heal
self doubt and hatred grow, its all you know
the feeling of being on the lowest rung far below

Words can do all these things, but words can sing
they can help build a world where you can be anything
words from a friend can mend the deepest scars, the holes in the heart
can give you a change in mood, give life a jump start

Thanks for reading.

Peace & Love.

Kyle.
