Words can be loving,
Words can be damaging,
Self-destructive,
And even soul crushing.
Words can bring hope,
Happiness,
Joy,
And love.
Words can separate a nation and bring it back, together in one breath,
Words can beat you down tell you can't feel anything,
Words can make you feel alive for the first time,
Feel love for the first time,
Words can hurt,
What you say can't ever be taken back,
Your vacuum like mouth can only spit out the words you want to say,
But when you try to suck them back in you can't,
An overflow of words fills up my cup and pours out like a waterfall,
The damage has been done and there's no turning back now,
Your words stick to my skin like a tattoo,
Embedded inside me like a second layer of skin,
I try to scratch away the ugliness,
scratching away the part of me that was strong,
Leaving behind a person who is empty and only
filled with words,
Words that are like vapor and disappear into the air,
Words are hard.
