Our words pollute the air
We hurt one another and don't look at the damage
Eventually we can't manage
Our words are swords
They strike chords
And as time goes on we love this song
All the hate that we have for ourselves we dump on others
Accompanied by the praise of peers and the whimpers of the ones we abuse

- Comment from author about the poem: Some of the kids at my school can be cruel in the way they use words, however they usually don't mean for them to be abusive.It's a simple matter of not thinking through their words and what they could signify to the person.

We don't really think about the effect that our words will have on other people when we say them. When I was still in school 4 years ago, it was similar. You brought up a valid point, and I commend you for doing so. Also, is "piers" supposed to be "peers" in the last line?
Thank-you for catching my mistake, looking back saying piers made no sense.
It's no problem friend.
Be careful with our words, since in "sword" there is a "word".
Never thought of that.
