In response to E-male 'Words'

[zoolane]

Words change image in your head,
to what you want to be.
Words build a trust in someone.
Trust form bonding, good so it seem.

Words arrange met of your image,
from distance look normal.
Next glance image changeing,
image is strange and not sure if it trustworth.
Should I stay or run away?

[hillwalker]

Shows how powerful words can be (for good as well as bad) - and it's safe to stay I hope.

[Delta40]

I feel like you have likened words to a presence which may stay or go. trust is everything and we must all take risks and give the gift of trust to others that we might trust in turn.

[zoolane]

This poem is from abuser and victim side as see things.
Also words are powerful but can be take wrong way.
In native victim point view, it just someone to listen.
