Hurt

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