Rinku Shah
Sharp words
are like knives
Damages the children
and their lives.
Bambi Na
How sharp is your tongue
Like a dagger piercing my lung
Wounding deeply through my heart
Scathing my soul
How I wish to depart
Leave me alone
Stop pouring on me
Your words of poison
Killing my morale with no mercy
Rinku Shah
Wipe the tears,
Not add to his fears.
Harsh critical words can break,
Love and Appreciation can make.
Choose them wisely,
Don’t take this lightly.
Marilyn Helen Deveau
With her criticizing words
She thought she could
Make me into someone who
Would make her proud
By telling me I would never be good
Enough
She made my soul bleed
Until the day I shed all
Of her hateful seeds
She tried to plant in me.
All the pieces
Of my shattered life
Were rearranged
As they fell softly into place
I became me
Finally, absolutely free.
Laira Margen
Alone, I weep.
As your harsh words stab me
like a sharp dagger.
So painful, it’s killing
my fragile soul.
Cathleen Neese
Sometimes words are
sharper than knives.
Felicia Holmes
Words used as weapons
by those we love,
can pierce through flesh and bone;
straight to the soul.
Deborah Poff
Sticks and stones
will break my bones
but negative words
will fester for the rest of my life
Ankita Gupta
The words are digging
Deep in my soul
Shattering me into pieces
From being whole.
Ankita Devadiga
The child inside me
is still alive and it wants love
please don’t hurt it
by your words
