Negativity

“Words. They’ll try to shake you. Don’t let them break you. Or stop your world from turning. When words keep you from feeling good, use them as firewood and let them burn.” -Train

Negativity: your words

stab me, cut me, break me

make me feel regret

in a life with none.

Make me forget

how good I am

how beautiful life is

how worthless words are.

Bitter, mean,

Hateful.

Worse than punches

they keep me up at night

no band-aids, no ice.

But my life is too short

for words like those.

How could I hate

when my world’s filled with love?

Words, how dare you make me forget

the positive,

Make me forget to breathe.

You may knock me down

but I’ll stand back up

And fight back

with forgiveness.
