and words my special skill
so when I'm passive-aggressive
be glad my tongue stays still
A door slammed twice
A teaspoon flung
into a kitchen sink
a cigarette
some Valium
a syringe
another drink
These are the ways
people try to tell
express the pain
of their personal hell
I know these ways
I knew them well
so I'll say it just once more
Words are wonderful weapons
and words my special skill
so when I'm passive-aggressive
be glad my tongue stays still
my actions will only piss you off
but my words
would shoot to kill.

I so understand what you mean, Nazneen. I think people should worry less about people who "give the silent treatment" or "the cold shoulder". I feel that I've had a great triumph when I avoid saying hurtful things that are on my mind, when I know that the situation will work itself out. There are times to speak up, but we need to gain discernment before we do.
