Words that
Were said
And words that
Were meant
Are often
Two different things
Words said in anger
Or in fear
Are rarely
Ever meant
And can have
Lasting effects
On people
Not meant
To happen
Yet no matter
How not meant
They were
They still happen
So the next time
You have the urge
To speak out of anger
Take that
Step back
Cool off
For a minute
Before you say
Something
You regret
And can't
Take back
