Words

Words can be beautiful

Inspirational

Make you feel more than ideal

Words make others gravitate

Make you feel great, that nobody would ever hate to wait for you

And make you see all the traits that make you

Sensational.

Make you feel tall, and bulletproof

And radiate

Just from a few words.

They tell us, words can never hurt, but can't they convert, if you exert?

From words of grandeur and flirt, to words that harm, and disarm all charm

Starting with the illusion, drawing to the conclusion,

That we are of no use.

Words can Abuse

Make you confused

Stumbling around

Because you used those words you found

To tear and rip them to the ground

You hound, you drown them in truth or lies that ties and expounds in their very soul.

And make the image they see of themselves a little less whole.

You dull their senses till all they hear is how you chastise and criticize, and from your words that implies that they are unwise,

Hearing the hiss that nobody would miss you if you were gone,

Receiving letter after letter that the world would be better if you did not exist…

Making them a digger digging deeper in the abyss-

Till they pull the trigger.

Consider the words you deliver.

Do they disfigure?

If so, I implore you to please reconsider,

And transfigure your words

Into something beautiful
