They hurt sometimes
They make you feel better too
They have the power to help
they can also harm

Used without a second thought
thrown at us with no warning
They make you float
They also weigh you down

We use them without a thought in the world
Said on impulse
I guess that's why conflict exists
It also may be why we have love

They are dangerous
They are exciting
They show strength
They make you vulnerable

Weightless as a feather
Soft as a pillow
But even the softest pillow
Can suffocate you
