Words

Words are what bring emotions to life
Words spoken or written with meanings rife
Taking away sorrows or towing sadness in it's wake
Capable of breathing life into, or take life away

Words badly chosen can make people blue
Creating expressions of feelings, too raw to be true
And one reacts to reading the poetry of a loved one's tears
With tears in one's poetry, echoing deep fears

Words flow out of me with intentions best
So that our issues are resolved; laid to rest
And begin life anew, and of joy and togetherness we may speak
But the lilt of my text reveals to you, only meanings you seek

I am misunderstood even with thoughts clear
Causing grief and misery to those near and dear
Should I stop expressing myself, and bury my thoughts inside
Or should I bury myself, in my final place to hide
