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.
A lovely and profound take on 'the pen' being 'mightier than the sword.' Words are important and once they are out there, there they are, forever, capable of soothing the saddest heart or crushing the brightest spirit. Another, really good write.

I don't think I'll ever forget the things that were said to me which caused this poem to be written, but I guess I should thank them in a way, because without their cruel judgments I wouldn't have written the poem that really started it all for me. Thank you for reading.

Words've got power to touch the spirits with gentle breeze and scents of pages. I like how poetically you write the "tribute" to "words". Well written.
You are so right, words are weapons and hateful people sling them around
like skipping stones on a lake, with disregard for feelings of other's:)
What happened to mom saying "if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything"
Idk? Great write! Thanks for sharing and b-blessed!

It was the first poem I ever wrote that wasn't a rhyme, so in a way this poem opened a new door to me for my own writing abilities. It means a lot that a great writer like you thinks this is good, haha.

It's been years since I wrote anything that rhymed; I got very tired of it and once I realized writing a different way worked best for me, I pretty much completely stopped with rhyming. Thank you so much for stopping by.

Oh those impossible tangible intangibles. Words for the poet.The very worms and carcinogens of time that eat us alive and yet also the very constance in soft oxygen that keep us very much awake and alive and tortured and distant and itchy and …In other "words" the way this is written into a parasitic beast is so, so very well done. Thanks!!

This is amazing. Your an amazing writer. Honestly, If I were you, and hadn't already, I'd look to get this published to some sort of anti-bullying campaign. Yeah, it's that good.
