Strength in Words
-
Each word holds a certain weight,
Word upon word, you build
Until all together they create
An order, waiting to be filled
A writer wants nothing more
Than to be read, but by who?
Who is it they are writing for?
Is it for me? For you?
Perhaps their feelings are mixed,
They want everyone to read it
To love it, to be transfixed
But they also want it a secret
Because with the power
Of their words and thoughts,
Is the fear of the hour
When love finally rots.
The writer is a hero at a time,
But his followers can
Quickly turn on a dime,
Making him a hated man.
Words may spark dreams in some,
Though others may only loathe.
So beware writers as you press on,
As your work is loved and hated both.
