They scorch my heart and mind
They rip apart my soul
The ones that aren’t easily said
The ones that go untold
They can dent my pride, a single one
They can shatter my bleeding heart
The ones said in good fun
The ones whispered in the dark
They can insult me or bring me joy
They can help me up or knock me down
The ones that bring a smile
The ones that bring a frown
They can compliment and congratulate
They can snip and sneer
The ones that you say
The ones that you hear
They can make you who you are
They can leave you all alone
The ones written on paper
The ones carved in stone
They are all you are
They are the home you are given
The ones that change your life
The ones that tell you you’re forgiven
They can hurt and they can heal
They can express how you feel
The ones you say out loud
The ones that are “no big deal”
They are the beginning and the end
They are the climax in the middle
The ones that hurt more than the hand
The one that sting a little
So mind your words, everyone
For if what you say is true
Whatever happens after your words
The blame will fall to you
