Excellent The use of words. Words by Linda Liu

Words can work wonders They can be sweet as honey But they have another side to them Where they can also be as hurtful as a knife Use words with cautiousness Here's a story My friends complimented my outfit today Using words I smiled graciously at them The next minute I heard them in the hallway They were using words about me again But this time, It was evil Filled with venom So vicious were the words I would never forget it Even as they said sorry once they realized I had known The wound on my heart was already dripping with blood I knew that it would heal, eventually But there would be a scar left behind
