Words
Walking down the hall pointing fingers people stare
they laugh
she is saddened they use words not hands
not feet
words
words aren't mean and hard like hands and feet that’s what they say
but words are Hard
they can be used in wonderful ways
or hurtful ways
words can be sweat like honey
or burning like a hot flame
words can be like a sword
cutting into you
slashing
damaging
tormenting
they could be like a wonderful hot chocolate after playing in the cold
but if to Hot scorches your throat
burning through you
words can be sharp and edgy you must be careful
thinking before you say
say don't spit
be kind not mean
words are powerful like a sword use them cautiously
