"isn't it absolutely,

terrifyingly, shockingly 

amazing

​

how words

those tiny little sounds 

in this chemical filled air 

those shapeless weird marks 

on stark white paper 

​

can make or break 

living, breathing people 

stab them at heart 

without a single weapon 

push them off 

their strong firm feet

take away the earth 

they used to stand at 

​

words; they're powerlessly powerful 

so use yours 

well 

​
