THE WORD ARROW



When I'm alone in the room
Some words came and killed my head
The words were so powerful, And words were like arrows
The head of the arrow was stone, That hurt my head


Arrows will pierce my head
I can't remove the arrow
I can only walk with that arrow in my head
I can't resist arrows

The arrows of those words come quickly and hit the head

Words arrows overwhelmed me.
Words arrows would throw me into a pit of sadness that I couldn't get out of.
Pushes again, I slowly struggle to get up.

The next morning
The arrows disappeared from my head, so in the morning I was happy, but later in the evening the words came to my head again.

Words hurt me whenever I'm alone
I avoided sitting alone and started going out
Then those words will not be seen

Knowing my faults and shortcomings, the moon hid in darkness The moon itself, which we always see, will shoot these arrows at us. So they would be stone arrows

The arrows of this poison from the mouth will kill us
No one always uses not poisoned arrows
I couldn't always see those arrows
Even if the sun sees it in the light, the sun will not send these arrows to anyone. The sun sees it and hides.

I'll go to my friends to escape these arrows
I won't see the words, then in my head
those arrows will be invisible
