Incendiary-Like Vocabulary
Words don't just hurt, they burn. They can burn both good and bad memories into our minds.
"sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me"
the greatest lie ever told
they don't just hurt, they burn-
my diary is a burning canvas-
and this, i ask:
to whom who is not hurt by words,
what's your secret?
tell me
sell me your story
help me in my disbelief
what words are present in your diary?
is there anything you resent in your vocabulary?
words can hurt more than stones and cut deeper than any blade,
and burn hotter than any flame
taking page after page
there is no diary that can tame,
an incendiary-like vocabulary
what can extinguish this?
the very same that ignited this fire
burnt pages may not be recovered
and bridges that have burned may not be rebuilt
but just as words can hurt, words can heal
