Words


The one thing I cannot live without is words.

 

Words are what I use to express, to speak, to describe

Without words, there is no music

There is no feeling

There is no communication

There is no hope

There is no living

Without words, the world would not exist.

I would not exist.

Words are the most powerful thing in the world.

They are what make us or break us.

They shape who we are to become in the future

And who we were in the past

They are the deciding factors

They are what make humans, human

Words give people chances

They allow you to choose your path:

For a job

For a school

For your friends

And for your family

They are the key to what we don’t know about the world

Without words, we would know nothing

We would be nothing

Without words, the Big Bang would have been for nothing

Words are the mind, body, and soul that a person possesses

Words are the key to life

Therefore, I cannot live without them.
