Words can be kind
Words can be harsh
Words can inspire
But words can also backfire
Days come and days go
Each day the same
And that’s when you know
You should never shame
Life is too short
To be polluted with stress
And you should never support
Those causing distress
Words are kind
Words are harsh
Words inspire
But they also backfire
Most people don’t acknowledge
The power behind their words
But some people can demolish
Those who go unheard
The disrespect
The unkind
The whole aspect
Of them combined
It wounds
It scars
It excludes
Everyone by far
Words should be kind
Words should not be harsh
Words should inspire
Then words will never backfire
