Words Are Powerful

Sometimes words are all it takes to 
make someone realize how much 
someone actually means to them.  
Maybe even put a smile on they're 
face. 

Words can hurt more than a gun or 
knife. Words can tell what is wrong 
or right. Words can be used to make 
or break a person.

Words are beautiful, our words are 
kind, Ours words can be ugly our 
words can blind.

We can bring together the world with 
the words we choose. Words are the 
most powerful thing a human can 
use.

Words can make you laugh or cry. 
We can use our words to heal or lie. 
With your words you can be very 
wise.

Words are life in my eyes, as well as 
yours. Words are what everyone 
knows.

Words are a freedom of speech why 
have a voice if you can't use it? 
Words are everything they make life.

Words are pure, Our words will 
never stop. Words can make a 
person think. Words can be used to 
manipulate.

Words can be use to whisper or yell. 
Our words can kill a person pride. 
Every word said we take inside. 
These words I use to you are very 
real. 

Our words are twisted, our words 
can be wicked. Words can be 
unanswered. Some can be 
pampered.

Words can be used for the wrong 
reasons. Words are weapons in 
every season.

Words bring us peace or bring us 
hell. So be careful of what you say 
cause our words are like spells
