words are like water
constantly flowing and changing and trickling
like a stream, turning into a river of sounds
then lakes then oceans, getting louder and louder
more and more violent along the way
like water, words are depended on
to live, to survive, to exist in this cruel world we call life
just like water, words can suffocate, they can be drowned out
they can hurt and scar and scare and control the ones around us
but
just like water
we need it.
we need water and we need words
because
in order to survive we must do what it takes.
we must do what needs to be done to sustain ourselves
even if what we do hurts others or ourselves.
even if we cant take what we have done back.
we must survive.
just like water.
