One Word

By Madeline Heuss

    Love

A lifetime of happiness and hugs

Beauty

An image they never thought they would see

Hey

A simple way to light up their day

Slut

The first thing to make them cut

Everything you say

Could make or break someone’s day

They could finally be okay

Or slowly fade away

The scars inside don’t always heal

Because once something is broken, it will never look new

You have to control what you say and do

Because you never know what someone is going through
