Surreptitiously Scarlet PM
A short poem about the power of words and the effect they can have. Not one of my best poems but I felt the need to write it.

Words

Sticks and stones may break my bones

But words cut deeper than knives

They leave scars that last for ever

They cause sadness, they take lives

-

People always say that actions speak

Louder than words but that's not true

Sometimes words hurt twice as much

As cuts and bruises do
