The Seasonal Construct Cup

April Prompt #11

Once they are spoken
or written in ink
Never to be taken back
no matter what you do
Words stick with you
sadly it's the bad ones
Each day hearing them
repeat over and over
Drowning in words
silence is dead
Their impact so fierce
powerful and spewed
They stick with you
forever through life
The craft of blocking
out their sounds
Never works
the words are stuck
Forever in my mind
like glue on paper
I am learning to say NO
want to fill my head
With new and positive words
so that they smother the bad
Make them go away
save my sanity
Words can cut you open
bloody to the core
A hit would be easier
at least it goes away
Words are forever
always think before you speak
Once it leave your lips
once the ink flows
Forever are they imprinted
there is no escape
Verbal abuse kills you
if you allow it to
