A Few Words Poem by Rhianna Murphy

A few words?
They can make or break someone's day.
'You look nice today'
or
'What a whale' as you giggle at your clever little remark
For all you know, that person you pass on the street
or in the hall at school
could be dealing with a great battle with their self esteem
You've no idea the condition of their life
Perhaps
a few kind words
can give someone the boost they need
to get through the day
But perhaps
the rude things you say
could be the words that finally push them off the edge
