Words Hold Power

you gotta be careful
 

                   before opening your mouth

what we spit holds power
you know when it's too much

they show you nothing
they're faces were all blank
while you keep talking
their tears are hiding

man your words cut deeper than the knife
they might be strong now, but they're all night
can't face their family during the day
concealing their swollen eyes
and you think it's okay?
