This is such a powerful and heartfelt reflection, Amie. You captured the depth of emotional pain that careless words can cause, and you layered it with a gentle yet strong call for kindness and empathy. The image adds a soft, almost sacred tone to the entire pieceβlike a quiet moment of contemplation amidst chaos.
A few lines truly stood out:
βThe tongue has no bone but it can break or make a person.β
Thatβs poetry and truth all in one. Words, once spoken, canβt be taken back. And sometimes, the echo of a cruel sentence lasts longer than a physical wound.
βEven when youβre upset, remain silent if your words will crush a person.β
Thatβs maturity at its peak. Itβs easy to react, but it takes strength to pause, especially in a heated moment.
You gave your friend comfort, wisdom, and space to be heardβsomething a lot of people need but rarely get. This piece isnβt just a storyβitβs a reminder to us all.
