Harsh Words

Words like a double edged sword
So deep they cut the soul
Into tatters they tear the heart
Bitter words break the heart
Into several smaller pieces
They leave the heart to bleed

Harsh words bring a great impact
So much pain they cause
So much suffering they bring about
To a lower and lower level,
One's self esteem lowered.
So much hatred they bring by
Causing enemity in people
With a baseless foundation
People end up killing others
Others loosing sense in life
And suicide considered an option

Hateful speeches are like poison
Slowly they kill the soul
One dies slowly and slowly
They leave wounds so fatal
And purse flowing and smelly
No one to fully heal them out.
