The Power of a Word
What is a word?
Letters, re-assurance?
Over the years, I learned the power of a word.
For years I've struggled to say no.
For years I've struggled with self esteem.
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't change
The hate to love, the fat to skinny, the useless to perfect.
Words have a grasp on all of us. A word without a meaning is just a few letters.
Words mold us into the people we are.
We think we can fix what's wrong with us just because somebody says they don't like the way you talk, or the way you walk, or the way you act.
But you...
You are a work of art.
I love the way your feet clink as you walk, I love the way that two of your teeth is bigger than the some of the others.
I love the way you dance, I love the way you style your hair.
Don't let these words turn you into a ruin.
You are magnificent, I'm just waiting for you to see it to.
We underestimate the power of a word.
I've learned that a few words can stop problems, cause problems, but most importantly, they can resolve them.
Why do we take words to heart?
They're just words right?
Why would I cry when someone told me I wasn't enough?
They're just words right?
Why did the words that the people in my class say to my friend drive her to want to end her own life?
Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
I know the power that a word holds...
And so should you.
