Speaking only hurts,

When words are not heard.

When they fall on deaf ears,

What use is a word?

Speaking only hurts,…

When it’s misunderstood;

With words twisted by flight,…

Speaking,…tell me why I should?

For most see with their sight,

And move along with the air,

Without a care,…..

……Without a single care.
