Words heal or wound

Words heal or wound

*********

it is OK

you did great

we are so proud of you!

we will help in your next exercise!

So comforting

so soothing, so reassuring!

Words heal! 

she shut herself into her room

drowning in her musical world

cos music speaks, too!

********

on the contrary

why are you so stupid?

Why aren’t you like your clever siblings?

We should never have had you

in the first place!

So scathing, so harsh

so cruel, so insensitive!

The boy left that night

roaming aimlessly,

and never came back since. 

Regretingly

checking with police station every day

where has he gone to?

Words wound

his heart deeply

Where words fail, music speaks: “Where words fail, music speaks” is a quote by Hans Christian Andersen.

Listen to my duet Words with Kevin Yip.
