It’s only words

No thought was needed

As words are free

It doesn’t matter

If  it doesn’t hurt me 

It was a glorious chance

To show insight sound

I grabbed it at once

To claim the high ground

So I whipped and lashed

The thick and heavy words

For all and sundry

To hear and pause

And when I was done

I heaved a sigh

How does it matter

If my words made them cry?

    1. Thank you for the read and the comment, dear Sonali. Yet to catch up on reading your recent poems. Yes, words are free and yet can make or break. Ideally, they should not be appropriated to brag about one’s wisdom, pull other people down, or harm them intentionally. But, we are yet to learn that.
      With friends, like you, to encourage me, I do hope to improve at poetry writing, with time. 🙂Grateful. 💚💚🙏
