Words
You might show your brawn,
Flex your fists,
But my words are stronger.
You might sharpen your knives,
Slash at my throat,
But my words are sharper.
You might yell and scream,
But my words are louder.
You might push and shove,
Beat me down,
But my words can be brutal.
You might lie and manipulate,
Twist what happened,
But my words carry the truth.
You might try to make sure others don’t hear,
Damper my screams,
But my words won’t be silenced.
Words have power that might can’t conquer.
