Short but sweet.

Spoiler! :
My dagger isn’t sharp at all;
My gun doesn’t even shoot.
Yet I am vicious.
I can tear people apart.
I can destroy them.
I can make people’s souls dangle
From a rope slowly breaking.
My weapon is invisible.
My weapon is indestructible.
I can never get away from it.

My weapon is
Words.

I like that it was straight to the point. Short but really good and its true words are our biggest weapon.

Nonononono NO WAY. You read it wrong. I was admitting that I've done it.



Hmmm....After I re-read it, I can sort of seem what you mean...I guess...

I can never get away from it.


This line kinda explains that.

My dagger isn’t sharp at all;
My gun doesn’t even shoot., comma instead These lines are very clever, they hook you right form the beginning.
Yet I am vicious. perhaps an exclamation point instead? If not, reword the line so it has more of an impact
I can tear people apart., comma instead
I can destroy them.
I can make people’s souls dangle
From a rope that's slowly breaking. These liens seem a bit lack-luster
My weapon is invisible., comma instead
My weapon is indestructible.
I can never get awayfrom it.dash mark -

My weapon is, comma
Words.

Nice piece :]

I mean that coming out and being proud that you 'tear people apart' isn't necessarily a good thing.

This is an interesting line, but it's like you relish in breaking people down.

I can make people’s souls dangle
From a rope slowly breaking


This poem sounds like your proud to be seen as arrogant, jerkish and vicious.
It's just not my kind of writing. No offense intended!

Ummm....That's not really a good thing. Blunt but I didn't feel anything.

Blunt, short and simple. To the point, concise. Blah, blah, blah. Hell, I liked it. It was easy to read and entertaining. There is a lot of truth in your words, the pen is mightier than the sword it seems, and I agree. Great flow, great wording, great idea. 9/10 Good Job! Keep Writing!
