The Pain That Words Can Do Poem by Dave Alan Walker

The Pain That Words Can Do

Rating: 5.0


Words can stay
like a birthmark
or a scar

Things that you say
things that you do
they work around the mind
like a mouse in a maze

Think before you speak
never underestimate
the pain that words can do

A few words are enough to stain a feeling, and to de-stain that feeling is hardest way we can do..could be impossible too..._lil Soul

Yes great words that should be taught when young. Look what teasing / bullying has done to so many. You are so right. Thank you
