Words

     We are created with only three Words

"i love you"

and the love exuding from those Words is somehow enough to create another life

and as that life grows, she learns how to say the Words that created her and more

all the beautiful Words

because her parents want her to know how beautiful 

she truly 

is

     but as she grows she hears the Others saying ugly Words

Words brought into existence to tear her down

to make her think she is not

beautiful

because of those Words she titles herself Death

falls into that pit and

is no more

     if Words are enough to create life and end it, i refuse to believe they do not hold power

this power does not discriminate based on any race, gender, ethnicity

it is given to everyone

so we can do what we choose with it

     and i?

i will breathe into the Words my life

so that they may breathe life into another

my Words

will be of such passion and conviction that they may drown the ugly words, the pompous declaration, the proud cries for attention

for my Words are beautiful

my Words will create life

my Words will tie the feet of humanity to the ground so our heads may float among stars

my Words

will make you smile

this is my hope

this

makes me smile.
