Weigh your words, throw your light on the page not the book at me - I never see you

Words are a weapon when you want them to be. But like a bullet, they can be dodged. Like a knife they cut, their depth unknown. Like a stone they bruise. But throw your hurtful words and if they do not apply, I can dodge, duck, rearrange them in mid-air. Their intention lost, their truth revealed. They become my truth, they remain your pain.
