Words

Words, only words,such simple things. Funny how they can make me laugh,or make me cry. 
Words to encourage. Words to discourage. Words that make me want to live. Words that 
make me want to die.  Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. But is your 
heart full of lies? Have you forgotten how to cry? Do you like being alone? Is your heart cold 
as a stone?    Think, to take the time to reason. To balance each word, as words can change 
like the seasons. Think, to try and understand. To listen, to watch, to interpit, and give fact to 
the fiction. Without contradiction. Understanding they are just words, nothing more, nothing 
less, words.
