Words

Oh how wonderful words are.
They can empower, they can uplift,
they can entertain, giving someone the 
courage to attain their dreams.
Oh how powerful words are.
They can cut deep, they shatter dreams 
killing one's ambition to never achieve

So true, words can kill or help another ascend... they are nothing but noises made by an oral apparatus- funny how that works, don't ya think. Very nice write, my friend
