Words can do so many things that we'll never understand
A heartbeat won't make you come alive the way one word can
The pictures that they paint can take your breath away
Goodbyes that they whisper will make you want to stay
When they are laced in hatred and fight to make you cry
You find that rhyme within you and realize it was lies
That words would never hurt you, only sticks and stones
Well now you're a few years older and left with broken bones.
When sweet words are spoken from someone that you love
You feel cupid catch you and carry you above
When words are hard to come by because your tongue is tied
It always seems as though your missing an important part of life
When words are placed in music, your soul is pierced within
Whether it be happy, sad or tragic, your heart is singing till the end.
Words can do so many things, and I've only said a few
But put thought before your speech because the power starts with you.

This society asks for me
to shame my history in disbelief.
And still hold the past
Close as I can,
So that no matter my freedom
I wont advance.

I walk a ground
that is claimed as owned
from my time of birth
Til the time I am grown.
How dare these men
Try and contain
souls of the Creator
As if they are game.

Yet many are obedient
Following the plan
With eyes hazy, may as well be closed
Satisfying that man
...whoever he is.
