Words

Words

By jfarrell

 

Four words created the universe and everything in it;

“Let there be light”;

Three words ended my last friendship;

“You’re so negative”.

 

With words we can build great things;

But we can also use words to wrought the most terrible destruction

We can encourage each other

Or tear one another down

 

Our most tender, treasured kiss we describe with words

As we do our most agonising pain

Whether bringing people together in love and unity

Or turning everyone against each other

 

When you hit me, you hit one person

When I write, dozens read my empty ramblings

The pen is mightier than the sword

Someone once said

 

My words will and are building

Reshaping a better world;

To everyone who ever hurt me…

I’m still here; stronger; and changing your world

With my words.
