Angry Words
November 2010 (9th Grade)
metaphor poem

Angry words are arrows through a soul.
Splinters upon a heart,
bullets through a man.
Angry words are tattoos forever on one's skin.
Sewn upon memory,
crippling character.
Angry words are destruction.
Killing desire to be different,
chilling the fire within.
Angry words are excuses for failure.
Shelter for the strong,
and regret for the weak.
