Your Words


Words... aren't just words.
Words can help us when life gets tough,
but words can be the reason why life is so rough.

Bullies use words, but it's usually very mean.
Their words only bring down people's self esteem.
Buliie's words can be the reason people are crying at night.
Their words are only good for leading up to fights.

Nice words could make someone's day.
They're called compliments and will never fade.
Nice words can make someone smile,
it can be as simple as telling someone you like their style.

I hope next time you'll watch the words you say.
You never know if you'll be the reason why someone's confidence breaks
or if your words will cause a life to be saved.
