i feel like i
can’t say what
happened to me
because what happened
to my best friend was
so much worse...

awhile ago i warned
about using words,
they have power.

i didn’t realize that
words spread like wildfire.

i accidentally destroyed
instead of creating-
and i ruined a reputation...

and this is me admitting that
and wishing i could change it.

i can’t say
anything right

so why do
i even try
to speak
at all anymore
