Don't Speak
May 2, 2016
People don’t understand the meaning of secrets.
They pick and prod to get your words to flow from your withering mouth.
Once the words are out, they use them.
Hold them against your throat like a knife.
Now people don’t understand, how much words can hurt.
They sit in our minds, eating away at our thoughts.
They take over as if those were the only words we have ever heard..
Sometimes those words can cause harsh actions.
Causing someone to lose her life.
