... words should come with a cautionary warning label attatched: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. They can be as deadly as fireworks, just as dangerous: thrown, it's too late to try to snatch them out of the air. Their !explosiveness!! shreds souls to ribbons and leave permanent scars - I know. Each, a painful memory ... .
so very true and so well put-if only we all could be a bit more carefull

Such true words here. Others just don't get that even though some of those same people will complain that others words have hurt them. I guess the hurts make some of us better people that's all. Good words today. Lady J
Our Mother taught us at a very early age to think of what we are about to say before we let the words slip out because we can't snatch them back.
Thank you for sharing.
Well...there are many people who don't think before they speak, and hurt others' feelings, but you mustn't let them hurt you. You're too nice a person that anyone would do this to.
And so often we conceal our scars, both physical and emotional. Such strength you have to expose at least some of yours. Congratulations and thanks for the strength you share in your words.

So true! I think we've all been the victim of words used improperly - some more than others. I grew up in a situation where words cut daily. Great point you make here, Karla! -Sheila
A powerful, explosive poem with a strong message: "Think before you speak". Words do hurt, as we both can attest. Very well penned; brava! One of your best!
