Your Words

by SABRINA   Apr 18, 2017


They say,
your words are your power.
but like our reality,
power brings out the best and the worst of people.

You said something to her,
something along the line of,
"F A T."
I think?

And then you told her,
you were just joking.

Learn how to take a joke!
you said

But maybe,
you just joked about something,
something that,
she has been trying so hard,
for a long, long time, to deal with.

But you don't know that,
do you?

You see,
after all,
it's easier to destroy,
than to build.

But,
you were just joking,
right?

    Words hurt so badly...no matter if they're just a "joke" or not. You express this truth well in your writing. Well done!

    So very true. Words can destroy someone. People don't or won't realize how much damage they can do but what they say, usually in the guise of a joke. Then they make you think you over reacted. Definitely nailed it.
