I’m not talking about the cute huggable words.
I’m talking about the words that tear at your soul.
The words that make people enter a war with themselves.
The words that split people in half. The words that make enemies.
The words that cut into people’s minds.
Words that never go away.
Words that float in people’s memories for centuries.
Words that make people hate themselves.
Words that throw people into the vicious hurricane called depression.
Words that make people slit their wrists.
Words that make people tie a rope around their necks and slowly suffocate.
Words that cause self-harming.
Words that are updated every year.
Words that make people a ticking time-bomb.
