Words
Sometimes words whisper and sometimes they scream
Some people grow in castles that gleam
Some of us start much smaller than most
Some of us learn that words leave a ghost
An impression is something that words cannot fix
Some people go from everything to nix
The worst part of words is that they have us all
Slowly to rise but easy to fall
Every last syllable that leaves our lips
Imagine if you carried them all on your hips
Some are so nice and easy and light
Others weigh more when they come from a fight
Words are so easy so quick to come out
They start in our heart and leave from our snout
No matter where we begin our day
Gleaming with gold or covered with gray
Every thought that we have every last one
Can be light as feathers or weigh a ton
The words that we say without a thought
They touch those who hear them they touch them a lot
So think of the words you carry around
You can help them lift up or toss to the ground
Whether we start in halls gilded with gold
Or wake up each morning shivering with cold
All of our words they're all worth the same
Whether you're poor or riddled with fame
The weight of our words we carry them all
They'll lift us all up or cause us to fall.
