Your words are beautiful,
but uglier than fungus
when you lie.
Your words are delicate,
but more abrasive than sandpaper
when you criticize.
Your words are fragile,
but stronger than steel
when you stereotype.
Your words are harsh,
but softer than petals
when you comfort.
Your words destructive,
but nurture like fertilizer
when you praise.
Your words are potent,
but passionate like an inferno
when you love.
