Words
Like daggers when the power of usage is abused
Hurtful
Piercing not skin nor bone, but heart and soul
Messages
Inflicting  pain when possessed by the wrong hands
Silencing
Words caught in your own throat, unable to escape
Confidence
Disappearing beneath new wounds

Words
Offered like a hand held out to lead the way
Kind
Comforting gestures to ease the pain
Messages
To heal the lacerations bleeding out
Encouraging
Not retaliation, but triumph
Confidence
Returning as the scars disappear
