(Words)
By: Cassie

If you think about it, words are just individual letters pieced together in a sentence.
But these words, these sentences, they can kill. They're like daggers, sharp and dangerous.
And just when you thought you had escaped them, they creep up behind you. Something new every time.
That moment of pure bliss is snatched away. Taken into greedy hands. These hands push you around, you stumble and fall.
And these words leave you in still silence, but you know these words are still there, haunting you almost. And there is no escape. And your cries are hopeless and pitiful. And you want to jump.
You think the city will be still without you. At least that's what the words sing in your ear. These words can't tell you otherwise.
And, they'll soon be forgotten.
For words are just letters.
And letters are just words.
