Words speak volumes, they will heal you or destroy you.
They can make you laugh or they can make you cry.
They are either full of life or they are full of death.
Christ spoke everything into existence in six days.
So yes words do carry a powerful punch in them.
Remember Christ is called the Word and he is God.
Since you are a poet you should realize this one thing.
You can speak yourself out of the thing that you are going through.
Just trust believe and it shall be done, speak life into your life.
