I Wonder Why The Words Hurt
October 4, 2018I wonder why the words they say
Hurt, cut, fray away.
I’m sure that’s not what they intend to say
Still, it’s happened, it happened yesterday.
Some words were cruel, some just offhand
I lay awake all night, trying to understand.

Much of the world’s cruelty is simply thoughtlessness.
