Your words are heavy
Location
Believe it or not, you mold us.
For every word, action, complement, insult
toward us,
is a building block to our esteem,
determining how tough, or rough,
we are.
Because your words paint us a picture
of this theoretical bar.
It rises to the heavens when you express
some sort of hope
in us.
But falls, when you show that you can't
cope with us.
And believe, that every little "can't",
will dance, over an abundance of "can's"
that we we're told,
because every negative word about us,
holds.
Holds a weight that strains our heads down
holds our hearts and voices with no sound
closes our eyes, to be blind
brings our hands to our ears sides.
For this is a mute cry.
So remember, your shaping the person
who will find a cure to cancer.
The one that will become a renowned
dancer.
The lawyer that will bring peace,
the student who will also teach.
So as simple as you words may seem,
your exact words are in fact,
the begining of our seam,
that sews us together,
into the hopeful leaders
we will beam.
