THE WEIGHT OF ONE'S WORDS

Words to humans are more than just sounds that escapes the mouth. Words that seem harmless to the speaker yet harmful to the hearer. How fast they enter,and in no rush they leave. Sharper than a knife they pierce and Stickier than glue they cling to the hearts. Barely breathing, Suffocating beneath one's words. Words not meant but can't travel back. Death awaits yet another chance is all they ask. A moment to choose differently - let thy words not wound, but heal. For words are a choice, and the choice is ours to make.
