What words mean to me


What do words mean to me?

There are so many words

With so many different meanings.

They mean emotions, ideas, places and things to do.

What do words mean to me?

So many things you can say with words.

They mean praises, insults, and hidden meanings.

What do words mean to me?

They mean saying things that I can’t.

They mean getting things that I want.

So what do words mean to me?

They mean freedom.

They mean learning.

They mean understanding who I am

And who I want to be.
