Words
By Janus
Words, as you know,
Can mean a thousand things,
And yet mean nothing at all just the same.
Words can be very hurtful,
And then again,
Words can bring much happiness.
Words can be strong,
And go through anything,
Like an x-ray of your mind.
Words can also be soft,
And as gentle as a rose petal,
A soft blanket to catch you when the harsher words have gone.
Words, in many ways,
Can be our undoing,
And our survival.
Words give us a way to communicate,
And sets us apart from other creatures,
Yet they can cause the worst harm of all.
So why then,
Did we begin to create something,
So sweet, and yet so sour?
Because it�s in our nature to do so.
