Words Can Hurt Darling.

Remember that thing she said to you that might've ruined your day?

Remember the lie that got back to you? And the lies about you?

Remember those words that changed your life?

Or that time she told you what he did? It sent you in a frenzy, and you couldn't concentrate until you knew the details?

Remember when that boy told you you were beautiful to him?

Or that time he said you had gorgeous eyes?

Remember when he told you to never let anyone tell you you were anything but beautiful? Then he hugged you. And the world was at peace.

You know that saying,

"Sticks and Stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me"?

I don't believe it.

Words are much too powerful.

You can read a poem, it bring back feelings, or create new ones.

That novel can take you to a completely different world.

An essay can change your way of thinking, it can create new opinions.

Words in a conversation speak for your intelligence.

Never say anything you don't mean, you can never take it back. It will always be there in that person's mind, forever. Words aren't something that will heal over time, like a cut or a scrape, they stick out in a person's mind, they can take over a person's thoughts. They are everything.

Think before you speak, don't regret what you say.

You might hurt somebody, or make their day.
