Life

I wonder to myself sometimes

Do words really hurt?

Can they physicaly hurt someone?

threw my life i have been "hurt" with words

They seem to cut deep inside up

They shred your feelings

Ruin your life

Those words you grow to hate with life

Those who say these words should be punished

You know who you are....

Yes, they do hurt, strange as it may seem. Words can cut deeper than any knife can. And they leave even bolder scars. I'm riffing off you here. I like the poem. But inanswer to the question, they really can hurt.
