Words from a stranger are useless and forgotten.

They shouldn't hurt, if that person is not in your heart

The war cries don't scare me!

I can fight off the enemy.

Ill survive a gun to my head.

Like a tree can't live without roots,

you can't live without them too.

The ones in your heart carry guns in their mouths

and every negative word destroys your heart from inside out.

They are the ones that drop bombs on your head,

Shredding your leaves

And filling you up with nonsense words

that downgrade your self- esteem

until you feel

Like nothing

Your heart is the source of your hurt.
