The tone

Ugly said the tone, a bruise to the heart.

Worthless same voice same tone bruising confidence.

Lazy slurred tone, drunk under their own stupidity, bruises closer to the surface.

None of which has happened to me but it doesn't stop me from listening about it, comforting those who have gone through it talking to others who are living it.

How many bruises does it take to leave; one and even that's one too many!

For those who listen its hard to hear but for those going through it, it's harder still.

Why worry about how they feel or how it hurts them, tough luck they should never have bruised you in any way, they deserve to suffer not you, never again you!

When will you believe in yourself, when will you listen; when it's too late, don't leave it until then!

Take your leave at the tone!
