"Coup de grâce"
Words cut deeper than a knife,
Sharp enough to take a life,
Angry words can make a boat sink,
So think before you even speak,
If you don't control your rage,
You'll break people like a carnage,
A spoken word may be forgiven,
But the scars will never be forgotten,
The gossips of the echoing silence,
Tormented people like violence,
Simple words degraded self-esteem,
Their trust for people became dim,
They stabbed you from the front and back,
To innocent people you tried to attack,
You were hurt so unknowingly you give them pain,
Because no one apologized when they made you insane,
So be careful when you open your lips,
Can create or destroy relationships,
The daunting lesson of coup de grâce,
That spoken words may heal but never replaced.
