Words can be like birds on wings

Helping chase the stars

But words can also cut like knives

Leaving invisible scars

Words can take the darkest mood

And light it up so bright

But they can also take a smile

And turn it into night

Words are used to weave a tale

Tell messages through songs

But words can also put one down

And cause so many wrongs

Words need to be carefully said

And watched before set free

But oh so often people forget

How evil words can be.
