I Smash You

(This is a poem I wrote about the power of words. Even if you're a gentle soul who'd never lift a hand to harm another, sometimes out of anger, our words do more damage)
I don't like breaking you. My hands were built to fix you. but my tongue cuts you. my words smash you. and in it... I am destroyed.
