Words
Words have the power to change a life
Words can take away a family
Words can tear apart a love
Words can say he's leaving
Words can say he's gone
Words can take the pain of one thousand
Or words can make one thousand and one
Words can tell you they have some bad news
Words can tell you they did everything they could
Words can tell you they're sorry for your loss
Words can tell you that she's in a better place
Words can tell you it will all get better
Words can tell you time heals all wounds
Or words can say they'll never heal you
Words can say its alright to be yourself
Words can say be like everyone else
Words can say it'll be alright
Words can say you'll be fine
Words can say I'm not lying
Words can say you can handle it yourself
Or words can say you aren't capable of anything
Words can build you up to elation
Words can tell you down to perdition
Words can sting like a knife to your heart
Words can feel like a more powerful weapon
Words can make you joyful
Or words can make you want to die
Words unsaid can hurt like Hell
Words unneeded can make someone fall
Words unused can lead to a tragedy
Words unavoidable can cause a heartbreak
Words unavoidable will cause unavoidable pain
Words used for evil will come back to haunt
But words used for good will be useful to all
Words can be used to take over the world
Words used by Hitler conquered millions
Words used by Jesus only conquered twelve
Words preached by a Father are heard by the holy
Words preached by others are heard by the young and dumb
Words are used by all, no matter where they are
Words are felt by thee blind, seen by the deaf and
words are underappreciated by those who know them the best

I wrote Words one Friday when I was feeling mad at the world. One of my friends read it and insisted I showed it to my English Teacher. So the following Monday I did. She loved it and insisted I upload it to teenink.com
