What a way to talk!

My internal, exaggerated and conflicted views about how 'my talk' (opinions and perspectives) can be so dual-natured in the world ... expressed as an amateur poem.

What a way to talk!

Your talk makes them faithless, yet for some people it becomes belief

Your talk creates insecurity, yet for some people it becomes a haven, so secure

Your talk ignites them to burn, yet for some people it becomes a river

Your talk causes them to hate, yet for some it becomes love, so true

Your talk causes them to destroy, yet for some it becomes life

Your talk causes their demise, yet for some it becomes bliss, so eternal

Your talk causes them to drown, yet for some it becomes a sail

Your talk imbues them with envy, yet for some it becomes gratitude, so humble

Your talk challenges their very existence, yet for some it becomes the only way to exist

Your talk causes the stars to fall, yet for some it becomes light, so bright

What a way to talk!

Author's Note

I'm a complete amateur so please don't hurt me lol. My grasp of English language and grammar may not even be of intermediate level but looking past that what do you think about this 2nd person dialogue? What does it make you feel? What would you like to add?

love this poem, and the anaphora to emphasise your message about the hurtfulness of words and peoples' tone whilst speaking.
