Words

a poem about the power of words

words
these words i speak are poetical
they flow very lyrical
words of expression
spoken to show emotion
used to unmask true feelings
or hide self pity
words
words aren't just words
they can be strong and impact
deminish and destroy
they can build up
tear down
words stick like super glue
they embrace an individual with comfort and confidence
or traumatize
because words are powerful
and rememberable
words shouldn't be taken lightly
words
words are whispered to hide lies
abruptly shouted to embarrass
daggered to injure deep inside
or reflected to reveal truth of oneself
words
words
words
