The power of words

Tony36

 The power of words is strong

So use them wisely 

Words can heal

But

Words can also hurt

And those wounds can last longer

Than any physical scar

          Very true--the scars from words last longer than a lifetime, after the physical body has decomposed

            Yes, words have massive impacts. the contrast between healing and hurting, as well as emotional pain and physical scars makes this a very true and powerful poem, I liked reading it.

                      Lifelong love of words. Compliments, dismissals, approval, questioning, warnings, etc. etc. Even weapons or like these, sound advice. Well done.

                          Some people are so careless and hurtful in the words they choose without thinking of what they're really saying. Great write Tony. 😉👍
