What are the two similes used by the writer in the first stanza of the poem?


You, with your words like knives

And swords and weapons that you use against me

You have knocked me off my feet again

Got me feeling like a nothing

You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard

Calling me out when I'm wounded line 6 You picking on the weaker man

words like thunder and voice like a storm

words like knives and your voice like nails on a chalkboard

words like silk and voice like a soft melody

words like water and voice like a gentle breeze
