E=mc2

You know

they say that

you should be careful

of the

things that fly out of your mouth,

because you never know

how how it might land.

 

Just like

how airplanes

try to land on

gusty airports,

trying to

land on the tarmac.

There are chances that it might

just instead of landing

like a kiss of a woman on

the lips of a man she loves,

their teeth and nose get in the way.

Your words,

can land improperly

the airplanes that carry the best of feelings,

turn into dynamites.

 

Exploding violently.

 

Misguided missiles

that does nothing but destroy,

just like how the army promised us,

that this will bring us happiness and safety,

but

only at the cost of the nation its bombing,

leaving its soil,

turmoiled,

disfigured,

and produces nothing

But

radioactive plants,

we have come up

with a classification for it,

we call it

insecurities.

 

So don't ask me if I'm ok,

if you did nothing but

toss explosives at my feelings

cause clearly

I'm destroyed.

So no,

I'm not ok.

 

You

cannot stitch

tofu

back together,

after being sliced into two.

 

That

a sorry

will not be a substitute

for superglue,

using it to stick back

broken pieces of me.

 

So remember this,

that

the next time

you release statements

words,

phrases,

that you have the

power

disintegrate

the person receiving them.
