Cotton To Me?

Surrounded with padded words -- exaggerated, puffed up as buffersmeant to cushion the impact of a fall;Rebounding with wadding -- (fluffy pillows wrapped 'round words) -from a foolish leap off a high wall;Bouncing off misintegrity -- inflated, stuffed with fillermeant to muffle what is better left not said at all;Recall the past when padded words failed -- now thickly scarred, yet thinly veiled -wounds made to seem small;Words merely padded with good intentshatter and crumble,break into meaninglessjumbles of letterswhen thrown carelessly from a tall enough wall.
