One Woman’s Thoughts – part 3

One Woman’s Thoughts

By Susan Morgaine

 #3

They say –

what you don’t know, can’t hurt you

but i can harm you in ways you never dreamt possible

They say –

but words are weapons that wound

They say –

but words can be deafening

I close my ears to the pain

    Acorn by Rhosyn Gwyn I once lived amidst the clouds in lofty limbs that held me close. I touched the sky without waxen wings. But I, too, have plummeted fallen and disgraced.
