I never knew that

Words can hurt.

Or suffocate.

They sometimes blow you

High in the sky,

Sometimes they bury you down

Under the ground.

They embrass you

Or flatter.

They make you cry

Or laugh your head off.

They can cut deeper than

A knife ever could.

They can entertain you more than tickles.

They are so powerful that

People should beware to use.

I've learnt that

You have to learn how to swim through

The words

Not to drown under them.
