If I wanted to, I could <br />Tear you down with my words <br />I could shatter your reputation <br />With a single blow to your lies <br /> <br />If I wanted to, I could <br />Ruin everything for you <br />But I’m not so small. <br /> <br />I realize <br />That perhaps you are human <br />And perhaps so am I <br />Maybe I’m a little wrong too <br />Like you <br />So <br />I will be silent <br />As people talk about you <br />Saying how marvelous you are <br />Because <br />Although I don’t think you near as marvelous <br />I could, after all, be wrong.<br /><br />Katelin Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-i-wanted-to-2/
