Weight Of The Words On My Shoulders

February 11, 2015

one cent is a small fracture in

comparison to the rest of the world.

but did you know, that if you drop a

penny from the highest building it

will pick up enough speed on the

way down to kill someone?

suddenly one cent has more

weighted value than you thought.

did you know the same is true for a feather?

crazy isnt it? one minute there's a hailstorm

then the next it's raining feathers and you're

ducking for cover as if they were bricks

falling out of the sky. the weight of words

are like feathers; you think they are harmless

but you dont understand the weight they carry

when you drop them on someone.

if one cent can kill a person, imagine what

giving someone your two cents can do.

think before you speak. save a life.
