Words can change

Inspire you to create

Make you imagine the strange

Or crush you with their weight.

 

Words are not mere black marks

If they have the light, and the dark.

 

They say a picture’s worth

A thousand words.

But pictures are bound to earth,

And ethereal are some words.

 

Words can make you cry,

They can make you believe a lie.

 

They say, sticks and stones break your bones,

But words will never hurt me.

But brief is the pain from sticks and stones,

And forever wounds of words be.

 

Words can accompany you, when you’re alone.

They can reveal the deep unknown.

 

So write, imagine, express, create.

To make stories about a world unreal.

To make characters and their fate.

Such, that they make one feel.
