Wise Words

 

Words. 

Whether you read them backwards 

or read them forwards. 

They are still only words. 

Racecar. Kayak. Level. 

They are still only words. 

Whether you say them with meaning 

or say them meaningless. 

They are still only words. 

Love. Hate. Care. 

They are still only words.

We throw around words like they don't mean a thing. 

We brush off the feelings like they don't hurt a thing. 

They are still only words. 

Words create. 

Words destroy. 

They build up.

They build down. 

Use words to enable. 

Do not disable. 

The words you say describe you. 

What words will you choose?
