Words

You see im not much into history
the dictionary
but I know what the words we say mean,
the words we say take affect
recalect, no respect,
Like tomorrow , sorrow,
we have so many things to see
people to talk to
places to be
happiness doesnt have a price tag
then why isnt it free?
We says so many words,
kind words,
cold word,
these words,
who takes the time to rewind words?
they take lifes,
they hold us back,
something we lack,
words strong and bold
words are to humans as kings are to gold,
im sold
the young and the old,
so im told
we say to much,
when we're in the car of life,
and we forget to clutch,
You are the leader of your own,
when words put you down and you feel alone,
when your broken
when theres no ome
when your fractured in the bone,
get stronger like a stone,
words...
To many words are said each day
some words are said in the wrong place,
words show weakness
and the pain through our face,
some words are painful like a cheaters embrace,
what im trying to say is,
to many people are dying,
not enough are surviving,
even im trying,
and im tired of crying,
you see...
I dont think I can take words anymore,
Ive been put down
and ive been torn
Ive been called ugly
and ive been called whore...
so think before you say...
because the victims to your words....
this could be their last day!
