lines

Do you people know that there is a line

between us all?

When will you understand that there

is also a line when there is a heartbreak?

When will you people understand that there is a line between words and wounds?

 

When you say something about somebody does it ever occur to you that the persons heart is breaking because of you?

When are you ever in their shoes never!

before you open your mouth try to look into their eyes and see that there is pain inside of them.

 

Lines can go anywhere and at any place.

Draw a line between your words and their wounds.

I can feel the emotion in the poem vividly, I like your comparison to a line.

i agree with what you say. some people are just too self-absorbed to think about anybody but themselves.

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

well thought out and meaningful illustration of the scars words can leave~

Interesting write - our words always have consequences, so we should think before speaking or writing.

interesting write... leaves me thinking

I like the concept of the golden rule and empathy behind this piece. It's deeply moralistic and effective, a message that is clear. I find the idea behind the expression 'a line between words and wounds' very valuable.

You make an interesting point with this, our actions and words always do make an impact, but not always a good one. Nicely done!

We all draw the lines, and often forget how much pain our line drawing can cause, maybe we draw lines to minimize our own wounds. You have given me something to ponder.
