She sits
And sculpts
Her words
Into worlds.

Before you go
you should know
there is nothing more fragile
than a heart.

I rearrange the words
Into
Shields and armour
Axes and swords
All stronger then measly metal
Because after all
Metal can ****
But words can destroy.

you said you were small, insignificant
like a single star
in the midst of so many others
almost invisible
but let me tell you something
that star
might look small from here
but in reality
that star is huge
and it shines so brightly
and it is capable of so much more
then you think.

Lines on the page
Form memories
Captured on paper
Like a bird in a cage
Pretty to look at
Yet it can never be free

Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words can
Get your heart
Tear it into pieces
Shatter it into smithereens and
Burn it into ash
Never to be fixed again

Drops
          of
              hope

trickle down my throat

a refreshing drink

in this bleak world
