Words
We are created with only three Words
"i love you"
and the love exuding from those Words is somehow enough to create another life
and as that life grows, she learns how to say the Words that created her and more
all the beautiful Words
because her parents want her to know how beautiful
she truly
is
but as she grows she hears the Others saying ugly Words
Words brought into existence to tear her down
to make her think she is not
beautiful
because of those Words she titles herself Death
falls into that pit and
is no more
if Words are enough to create life and end it, i refuse to believe they do not hold power
this power does not discriminate based on any race, gender, ethnicity
it is given to everyone
so we can do what we choose with it
and i?
i will breathe into the Words my life
so that they may breathe life into another
my Words
will be of such passion and conviction that they may drown the ugly words, the pompous declaration, the proud cries for attention
for my Words are beautiful
my Words will create life
my Words will tie the feet of humanity to the ground so our heads may float among stars
my Words
will make you smile
this is my hope
this
makes me smile.
