Daggers

This is my first post.
I thought I would start with the first poem I wrote as an adult.
Thankfully I have found more pleasant inspiration since then.

DAGGERS

Words are like daggers
Thrown to the heart;
Barbs and jabs
That tear me apart.

Words are like weapons
Used often with skill;
To taunt and to tease
The Spirit to kill.

Words are like poison
Uttered for gain;
Their effect is caustic
Leaving a stain.

Words can be deadly
Raising a scar;
Words are eternal
My soul to mar.
