Words

A Poem by Brittany Zedalis
"

Bullying, essentially.

"

Words

Words creeping into the

Back of my mind

Into my soul

Words tearing at my heart

Words slithering in between

Truth and lies

Words pounding

In my brain

Breaking down walls

I didn't even know

Were there

Words

Powerful things

Words can heal

Even the most

Fragile of people

Or shatter what's left

Of their being

Words

Words are weapons

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.

I agree words are weapons. We need to hold silence before we can cause damage. I like the logic in your poem. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Thank you for stopping by!
It's really brave of you to come out and say this, I don't think a lot of people understand how serious and sinister bullying can be, the more we talk about it the better chance we have of putting an end to it, well done.

Thank you!
the tongue is the smallest member of the body and causes more trouble than them all
if we could bridle our tongue we could conquer the world

your welcome :)
This poem is one that everyone can relate to. Bullying has and sadly will always be a major problem. I get bullied and have been bullied which caused my depression. The words are beautifully written :)

Thank you!!
this is definitely a great poem about how whoever devised the "sticks and stones can break my bones" saying has definitely never had to deal with the emotional and mental torture of bullying

Indeed, words can either kill or heal. So we better watch out what comes out of our lips and what bleeds out from our pen. Thank you for sharing
