WORDS HURT

some words are so strong that they can break you down

Don't open your mouth

Cause all I hear is s**t 

And those talks straight in my heart they hit

They make me cry

Can't you see that in my eyes

That I break every time

When your tongue crosses the line

They hurt me they make me choke

They run over all my hopes

They make me suffer

It gets hard to breathe

I look alive outside, but I am dead underneath

Pack your tongue and take away your s****y s**t 

Cause the words you say really hurt

Words do hurt. My wise Grandfather taught me. "Nothing good to say. Say nothing. Negative words and actions will lead you to causing permanent damage." I like the honest feel and the desire of this poem. Thank you for the excellent poem.

Very true, and once again I have no criticism, your flow is becoming much better. I think this might be my favourite of your poems so far, I can relate to this.

Words are quite meaningful. That's why a writer writes them, and so bad words have to affect someone a lot. So words definitely have a huge consequence, and once you've said something, there's no way you can take it back.
**quick fix** : and-->am, I think that's what you meant to say.

This is good. Intensely emotional. The words you use have a strong impact. Well done.

Clear, concise and straight to the heart of the matter, words can hurt.

"but I and dead underneath" should be " but I AM dead underneath"
Very intense write, it made me think of what some people have said that isn't really nice or even true. We can learn from those hateful words and choose to be the better person in that sort of situation, very insightful. Awesome work :)

I think that the first "s**t" adds nice impact, but it kind of took away from the poem after that. The third line is phrased badly. The 12th line has "and" instead of "am" which I believe is most likely a typo. The main thing is the last line though. It was... lame. For lack of a better word. However I mean this for you're own good. It was still a great work. Very nice.
