Words can cut the skin,
It can hurt the body within.
It can cause the body pain.
It can leave the body lame.
It can leave scars on the surface.
Why have pain, what is its purpose?
Silence can cut the mind,
When we can't leave the past behind.
It can cause pain the soul.
It can cause us to hang on a pole.
It has the power to destroy.
It has the power to make a man into a boy.
Silence is the only thing that turns good into bad.
Silence may not sound like a bad thing,
But you never know if that is the last thing you will ever give someone.

It has the power to make a man into a boy.
Silence is the only thing that turns good into bad.
Silence may not sound like a bad thing,
But you never know if that is the last thing you will ever give someone.
