Just Words

Those words,
Punitive
Words.
Wishing violence
On her
Future self.

Cringe worthy,
Words.
Cruel,
Hateful,
Damaging,
Shaming.
From your
Grown-up mouth.
The balance of
Power,
Unequal.
Her heart,
Broken.

Choose your
Words more
Wisely
She won’t be a
Child forever.
Her damage
Traced
Right back
To your words.
And will you feel
Justified
When she
Fulfills the
Bad girl
Schema?
You told her
She deserved
Only the
Worst.
