Words

   Words that can cut deeply
Only one is needed to hurt
Ruining your own security
Destroying your self esteem
Slowly losing respect of yourself

Fat
Stupid
Ugly

Words will take away from what you love
Obscene phrases that bring you down
Releasing you from your own grip on reality
Despising who you are
So that you lose your own self.

It's generally the lack of intelligent words that find people using the hurtful ones instead.
Great write Diana

[SM Davis]

AMEN TO THAT ONE! yes words can hurt but only if we give them the power to. When one uses painful words toward another, it truly is a reflection of the pain that they themselves are not willing to look at. Some become so hard and so lost that they don't even realize the ugliness of the words they use is a reflection of themselves and not the one the words are pointed toward.

Well done Diana. I'm never dissapointed with your writing. You're very talented with any genre you utilize.

Words really do hurt a lot more then even I wish to admit at times and this poem says it well. I often feel words crashing in- I take an 'Enjoy Silence' perspective I guess.
But it was a great poem
And I really like it
Great work

i read your poem and was about to write what i scrolled down and read in your author's note...

which means i didn't get your irony, contrast. normally i don't like notes or descriptions, they distract. this time it helped me see what a good poem this really is. just today i was trying to write a piece about "words". i used alot of words that provoked (not profanity). i read what i wrote and decided i need to keep the few friends i have here. you did a good job however.

faith, hope and love, tristan
