Words

Words can be one way

To express how you feel,

Words can be lies or they can be real.

Words can be unkind

And words can be untrue

But words may be the only thing I have to offer you.

Sometimes it is really hard

To find the right words to say

Words can be taken

In so many different ways.

All have different meanings

And we use them everyday

Sometimes it can hurt

With the simple words we say.

Words can express

A feeling inside of me

Or they can tear apart

The dreams that I see.

Some words can make you cry

And some can make you smile

But we should really think

Before we use them once in awhile.

Think before you speak

That is what they always say

And really understand

The words we say today.
