Word Weapons
August 25, 2014
Your words can create anything imaginable
Your words can be a sleek knife playing on the wrists of a struggling teen
Your words can be the parachute to save that teen from free falling into the coldness of the world
Your words can be the two fingers finding their way down a young girl’s mouth
inducing dreadful thoughts and a rotting mind
Your words can be the blissful reassurance of love or they can create a tsunami of muffled screams trapped in an insecure mind
Your words can be anything you want with zero restrictions
Use this to save the world we live in
Not to antagonize a living being until they feel this world is not safe enough to live in
