Hurtful Words

At first the words had pierced my heart
Her kicks designed to tear apart
Her ways were clear right from the start
It was her art, it was her art

Her temper tantrums weren’t unseen
The truth be known, she was so mean
She’s not one on whom I would lean
She’s not so keen, she’s not so keen

Each vicious word would pierce right through
It seems her words were never true
With her it seems she was taboo
With words untrue, with words untrue

Inside this heart I hold the truth
And cannot tolerate untrue
Or even those who are so rude
You must be true, you must be true

Nice job, Sue!
Every hour or so I stop packing and sit
here in 'the blue' for a moment.

Hurtful words that are untrue are not worth a nickel, and people who try to hurt you that way, well they just can't seem to rise up to your level, so they try to bring you down to theirs. Your poem expresses your feelings very well, though. POetically speaking, you're on top!!

I always try to remember that saying from childhood about "sticks and stones" although I know words do hurt, but you have to look at where they are coming from to determine their importance.
