Words


Words What are words? Words are composed of letters Arranged by our minds, our feelings Letters that come together like little notes Composing the orchestra of our sentences, our voice How words make up sentences and phrases, phrases that can change you How a simple, "I love you" can bring a smile to your face And change the way you believe that no one cares about you How simple phrases like " you're ugly", " you're fat", " you're dumb" Can cut you like a blade, piercing your skin in silent agony Words Words are powerful Words can impell people to do the wrong things But they can impell people to do the right things A word can change many things From "do" to "don't" Words affect our lives Words are delicate, like thorns on a rose bush Thorns can be delicate, but can cut you when you're not careful Like words Next time you want to say something think: Words, which words sewed together, can make a difference? Choose wisely
