The Power of Words

Some words can truly pierce right through you,

even when knowing they aren't true.

The damage that resides can seem invisible at first,

but the afterthoughts do linger — feeding its thirst.

The lips from which these words slip free,

Can shape the tide of emotions to be.

So please be wise with the words you chose,

'Cause you never know who you might bruise,

or even lose.
