Universal remote

Words can cut deep...
When they are cursed from lovely lips..
But the power that exists in them
Is only yours to give.
People are spiteful,
even the ones you hold near and dear to your heart...
Conversations and understandings
Are ammunition waiting to depart.
They'll use against you sometimes..
The things they know will hurt you most...
and the closer they are to you...
The deeper the wounds can go...
So let's make a toast,
Not to d-bags or a-holes...
But to loved ones who try to put you down...
And don't know they haven't got that control.
