You are what you Speak

July 15, 2013

The words you use are like a sharp knife

Piercing the flesh of a human life

Maybe this time they'll just take it

or Maybe this time they just won't make it

Wish they would understand their power

Can't fathom a world where it would matter

Maybe one day it'll change

Or maybe not... who's to say?

The power of words is apparent

listen to what you say before you say it!
