Words are hornets
ready to sting if threatened.
Leaving wounds that cannot be healed
and scars that cannot be erased.

Words are bayonets
Leaving gashes if needed.
Never allowing their victim to flee
Always leaving pain when touched.

Words are needles
causation is necessary
because they will prick whenever commanded
Leaving behind sores or temporary pain.

But words can be flowers
Sweet, fragrant
there to help
ready when needed

Words are teachers,
Ready to teach
Tutor and tell
Words should be used sparingly.

I cannot express how much I love this! I personally am in love with words, and books, and writing, so I find this super relatable. So so SO good.
