Words Have Power
Words have power
Strung together like pearls, an art in itself
They uplift and empower
Create indignity and shatter confidence
Condemn and create drama
Existing for a brief moment in time
Yet, can ring for a lifetime
A victim of life
A prison to ourselves
Negative self help a silk web at first
The morning pep talk as we perceive individuality
Believing the reflection we see
Why are we so careless with four letters?
What word were you thinking?
Words can oppress, harass, persecute
Hoping to feign dominance and influence
And victimizes upon return
A never ending cycle.
Like an addiction
Hard to give up without a reason to change
However, amidst an adverse environment
We may miss the shine of a string of pearls
But when found, amazing things are possible
