Words

Words can wound much deeper than a very sharp knife

You can pull a knife blade out but words can stay for life

Invisible hurt is destructive, the worst of any kind I know

It quickly destroys self esteem , on your body, it’ s effects will show

Your drooped and lonely shoulders, they can’t take any more weight

Your spine is curved and crying for help, it used to be ruler straight

Your walk is slow and painful, you don’t want to go anywhere

You used to have a love for life, now you just don’t care

It is only you who can change, the situation that you’re in

Look inwards at your soul, that is the best place to begin

Ignore the snipes and insults, you are good through and through

The damage that they’ve done to you, if only they knew

Walk tall and face the demons, rise to challenges every day

Forget the past, live for today, brush the memories away

The memories will still be there but deeper in your mind

And one day they’ll become impossible to find

Set a new task every day to look forward to and enjoy

Killing your sadness with happiness is an effective ploy

One day you’ll get your life back maybe not as it used to be

But at least you will be living and your mind will be set free

 All the demons in your head will be finally chased away

You’ll remain to live your life and happiness will stay

So put your shoulders back and walk tall with pride

You should carry no shame, you have nothing to hide
