Unkind words

Tossed out thoughtlessly
 
Aimed at a child
With nowhere to hide
 
Brush them off, you think
Pretend it doesn’t hurt
 
Don’t cry or she’ll know
She hit her mark
 
She didn’t mean it
he’ll say
 
It’s your fault
They’ll sigh
 
So
 
Pretend you don’t hear
It’s better that way
 
Smile to hide the pain
Laugh, ignore the insult
 
Yet every word stings
And pierces the soul
 
And leaves behind wounds
That never heal
