What should be sweet and filled with love
is more like a sharp killing blade of destruction
The words that come out with no thought to the harm that's done

I like this, my daughter is bullied so badly, and the words hurt more than the bruises everytime, this is excellent,so much with so little, nice write

How true it is! As writer's we know how powerful words can be... they can turn a beautiful soul into a hurt angry soul. I was in an abusive relationship and the bruises healed but the put downs and name calling is still apart of me 30yrs later.
Tell your daughter to know she is better than whatever these sad kids are telling her... most of the time kids like that have something in their life that is making them lash out at others. God bless her and with a mom like you are I'm sure she will be fine.
