Words

Words had always been defined as a very powerful weapon and gift. They are strongest human power and has capability to change world.

Believe me friends,
I'm not talking absurd
There is a great power
in a single word

Words can build
Words can break
Words can support
Words can shake

Words encourage
Words bring down
Words can reflect
smile and frown

One smart word,
can save thousand lives
One stupid word,
raise cannons and knives
One word of wisdom,
guide dark mind
One word of revolution,
can change mankind

There's no wound
kind words can't heal
Words create scars
that are hard to deal

Words can destroy
Words can mend
Words are on what
we writers depend

You can't take back
what you speak.
Words push you down
they take you to peak

So, this tongue of ours
is important to tame
Even after our end
these words remain.

Your poem shows so strongly how the words can impact our lives. I think so much about what I say it. And I have improved this through the years. There was a time that I thought... "I want to say what I want" and many times I wished I had my mouth shouted. If I can say something that is going to help someone, or make someone happy, I say it. I try to use my honesty, but in a very mature way.
Your poem is mature, real, and true.

This had a mantric quality. The darling simplicity in your words, is actually very poignant and powerful. I think in some ways, you were born to write. Certainly these poems of your youth will be like treasures for you always.
