Arrows fly like darts through the wind Piercing whatever they can in their path Just as arrows can pierce a person's skin Words can pierce just as bad Sometimes we walk around And we are not aware of the affect that our words And our actions have on other's It is so easy to be malicious sometimes And to say things that we know might hurt people Especially when we are feeling threatened Or when we are angry Or even to hide ourselves and our own insecurities Its easier sometimes just to put some one down Piercing them with our words And stabbing them with our actions A look A glance A snicker Avoiding them all together Purposely going out of your way to hurt some one To try and get back at them For some wrong we think they might have done Its easy sometimes To send these verbal projectiles We toss them around all the time Letting them fall wherever they may Leaving carnage and destruction in their wake Harming and scarring those who they hit Blindly hurting people Whether it be intentional or otherwise We need to be more careful with each other And try to heal the hurt that has been caused By the random sling And the wayward arrow That finds its target And sinks into their soul
