I always feel like this is how I feel when I need to write. It's like words just keep pounding at you until you get your feelings down on to paper. It's only then that I may find peace.
Love this poem! I could really relate to it. It's true that words can be tools and weapons.

Thankfully that time has passed and at least one of my favorite poems of my own resulted from it. Thank you so much for reading.
Words can be deadly weapons, a kind of toxin that leeches into your soul. Not an easy thing to overcome, even years later. Thank you for sharing. Nice formatting and presentation as well.

So true..
words . .... are often the weapons ....
and sometimes, a medium of communication... but fact is that words can turn something best or worst...
so they're powerful... even more than we are.... good piece....

Thank you for reviewing! I'm sorry it took so long for me to see this.
Words are communication. Without them, we return to the stone age. We make guttural noises. I cannot imagine my wife's beautiful face making guttural noises!

Hahahahahahaha xD Yes, words are indeed necessary.
I read of how a transgendered youth from Ohio, Josh Alcorn, had been bullied mostly by words
and then decided to end his life. Not because of the hackneyed "man trapped in a woman's body"
conundrum, but words, (can you imagine that) words had taken their toll. I read your review
about the poem I wrote on Bruce Jenner, and thought just how mature you were to brilliantly
acknowledge the correct gender when referring to her. In todays world of internet humor
and faceless judgments, that simple act took insight and courage.
Words are weapons. And placed in the wrong hearts, awful weapons. And thank you for sharing
your poetry with us....

And yeah, she recently stated that the big interview that happened would be the last time she goes by "Bruce", so I decided it's time to refer to her as who she wants to be referred to. I have a friend who is trans, and so I know how important it is to use the right pronoun when they come out publicly. I hate when people intentionally use the wrong pronoun as an act of defiance towards the person.
Thank you very much for reading this one. It means a lot.
