True Power Of Words

Words are seeds that grow and blossom, 
Open doors,
Change the course,
The mouthpiece of the mind,
Intertwined with society,
Use case undefined,
Words depart as soon as they come, 
Although,
Their meanings linger like a quiet echo, 
A weight with every word, 
People clueless to the true meaning, 
A deeper meaning, 
A meaning that can harm,
A pain that sorry can't mend,
A global obstacle,
A hole in our heart,

I didn't mean it,
Stop,

It's not like that, 
Stop,

There's no reason for the commotion
Stop,

Thoughtless shouting,
Rambling words,
Wounds disguised as speech,
Mortifying speech,
Stop,

Hurting to feel better,
An endless cycle,
Normalized in our society,
Rooted in our veins,
But what if we paused?
What if we reconciled,
Took time to understand,
What if we planted better seeds,
Growing a garden of kindness?

A world where harm dissolves,
Where we choose light over dark.
It only takes a moment—
A single decision,
A second of thought.

Words can blossom beauty,
Or sow division.
Choose wisely.
