Words can be hurtful but good at the same time
Words can be complex and confusing but simple and easy
Words can be idly written or passionately drawn
Words can be tattooed on the flesh

Or etched into my skin with a knife.

An impactful poem. That last line certainly contributes to a sensation of whiplash one feels at the end. It's short, but to the point, and I think you make people sit up a little straighter after that last line. Good work, Autumn K.

Oh, well that last line had a lot of impact. It came suddenly, unexpectedly, and I thought that was great. It turned quickly, but it turned well so that it didn't just seem random. And that made this whole poem have a lot of impact.
