Hurt has a rippling effect; <br />it goes on and on, <br />until it slowly fades away. <br />Sometimes we say things <br />in an off handed way, <br />not really realising, <br />the real hurt we have caused. <br />We accuse without reason, <br />because we have made up <br />something in our mind. <br />In anger of the moment, <br />we spew our hurt deep, <br />and then repent, <br />as the person does not want to know. <br />So the next time you get angry, <br />cool down before you speak. <br />Do not go treading on others feet, <br />for it may not be their feet <br />that you trample on, <br />but only your own. <br /> <br />3 July 2007<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hurt-33/
