Â
Sharp wordsÂ
are like knives
Damages the childrenÂ
and their lives.

Bambi Na
Â
How sharp is your tongue
Like a dagger piercing my lung
Wounding deeply through my heart
Scathing my soulÂ
How I wish to depart
Leave me aloneÂ
Stop pouring on me
Your words of poison
Killing my morale with no mercy Â

Â
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.
Â
Marilyn Helen Deveau
Â
With her criticizing words
She thought she could
Make me into someone who
Would make her proudÂ
By telling me I would never be goodÂ
Enough
She made my soul bleed
Until the day I shed allÂ
Of her hateful seeds
She tried to plant in me.
All the pieces
Of my shattered life
Were rearrangedÂ
As they fell softly into place
I became meÂ
Finally, absolutely free. Â
Â
Laira Margen
Â
Alone, I weep.
As your harsh words stab me
like a sharp dagger.
So painful, it’s killingÂ
my fragile soul.Â

Cathleen NeeseÂ
Â
Sometimes words areÂ
sharper than knives.
Â
Felicia Holmes
Â
Words used as weaponsÂ
by those we love,
can pierce through flesh and bone;
straight to the soul. Â
Â
Deborah PoffÂ
Â
Sticks and stonesÂ
will break my bonesÂ
but negative wordsÂ
will fester for the rest of my life Â
Â
Ankita Gupta
Â
The words are digging
Deep in my soulÂ
Shattering me into pieces
From being whole. Â
Â
Ankita Devadiga
Â
The child inside meÂ
is still alive and it wants loveÂ
please don’t hurt itÂ
by your wordsÂ
