WORDS

By: KAY H. H.

Words, what are they?
Are they just a means for us to communicate?
Are words just a way to release what's in our hearts?
Words, what are they?
We know our words can help or they can hurt.
Words can never be taken back.

If I speak to you using good words that you have never heard,
Do you know what they mean?
Are you giving them a meaning to suit what you think you've heard?
If I speak to you using bad, mean words that you have never heard,
Do you know what they mean?
Are you giving them a meaning to suit what you think you've heard?
Are our thoughts the same?

When I am speaking words to you whose meaning you know,
You still give them a meaning to suit what you think you've heard.
Words, they hurt.
Words, they're loving.
Words once said are here to stay.
Words, what are they?
