Hmm. Interesting. It's my personal belief that the biggest and most harmful lie that we are told when we are children is that "sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me." Words, in many cases, can hurt more and do more harm than simple physical violence. Getting hit with a rock may hurt physically, but a hurtful word from a friend or loved one hits the soul. It seems to me like you're getting at that a little bit in this poem. People always seem to downplay the importance of words, but they shape much of the world around us. Without language, we almost wouldn't be human. Another poem I appreciated!
