Words are like scales And armour to our heart Yet words so easily tainted Can tear us apart But many wear them as protection Unaware of their fragility A simply slip of consciousness Consequences of drastic ability No words can keep a secret Others can create a mask We all try to hide our pain There is really no point to ask Words can provide a meaning They can also prove a lie But most of all they can tell the truth Even if one doesn’t comply For words have more than one meaning Symbolic and ever so freed It is the emotion and tone of the person That makes them easy to read However, these words neither spoken We all know them to be true And it is this understanding That I present onto you

Words of Honesty
Words are like scales And armour to our heart Yet words so easily tainted Can tear us apart But many wear them as protection Unaware of their fragility A simply slip of consciousness Consequences of drastic ability No words can keep a secret Others can create a mask We all try to hide our pain There is really no point to ask Words can provide a meaning They can also prove a lie But most of all they can tell the truth Even if one doesn’t comply For words have more than one meaning Symbolic and ever so freed It is the emotion and tone of the person That makes them easy to read However, these words neither spoken We all know them to be true And it is this understanding That I present onto you
