You say something to a person
thinking that it won't hurt.
But one single word
can keep reappearing in a person's mind
way longer than a bruise or a scar.
One word can follow a peson
until the day they die.
One word can push a person to the edge.
One word can steal one's confidence.
One word can destroy a life.
So think before you speak.
Maybe it's a little overdramatized, but the message should be clear.
I got the inspiration to the poem from my own life and the famous quote "think before you speak" which I've also used to end the poem with.
I didn't write a traditional type of poem this time and it is my first time writing a poem like this.

To the Grammar-Nazis: I apologize for typos and wrong grammar, but english isn't the "second language" which I've used most energy on.
