This poem is about how hurts can hurt and help you. It shows their power, and the power of the person who uses them. Also, it reflects the impact on the receiver of the words.
Words are like ghosts,
And they can haunt you.
Words are like shadows,
And they can follow you.
Words are like arrows,
Chasing you.
From one person,
To another.
The arrows are sent,
With a message,
Intended to hurt.
They hit their target,
Because arrows will always make it,
But it will hurt
Only if you let it,
Words are also
A lot like echoes,
Following you,
Chasing you,
Haunting you.
The echoes can be happy,
The echoes can be proud.
But be careful,
Because sometimes,
The echoes are mad,
And they can leave a big scar,
Right there in your heart,
Because just like ghosts and arrows,
Words can hurt,
And the pain will stay forever,
Right inside you,
Where it can be hard
To see and understand.
Words can haunt you,
Words can hurt you,
So please,
Do a kind deed,
Choose the right words,
And help make the world
A better place,
A place full of kindness,
A place full of happiness.
But don't worry,
Words are part of life,
And just like life,
Words can be beautiful,
Words can be kind,
Gather enough,
And you can fix mistakes.
Words accumulate,
And once they are free,
You can't take them back,
You can only add on.
The right words,
Said at the right time,
In the right place,
Can lift heavy weights,
And free a heart,
From heavy chains,
From those echoes that haunt you,
Those echoes that hurt you,
Those echoes that follow you,
Those echoes that chase you.
Standing up for yourself,
Standing up for others,
All these beautiful things,
Take more courage than you think.
Don't give up,
Don't worry,
Because in the end,
After all the struggles,
The battles,
And the pain,
The joy is always worth it.
