Words are all we have he said
I say words are traps
Snares set by the wicked
Soothe the trembling soul
Program little children to be robots till they’re old

Twistable tricky words
Easily misunderstood

Words alone mean nothing
Words alone don’t fill
Words are all we have he said
Words elude me still

My dog she doesn’t speak
She grunts and whines and paws
Loyal, true and sweet to me
Just had to learn her walk

My dad he never spoke too much
Except to lecture, legs went numb
Critical words, tough love
Self projections just like this
I am an *******
I am selfish
I am a sly dog

Dogs are good i thought
Why does this feel wrong
Why am i these things i say
Why, im just a kid

Program little children words
Broken little people words
Daggers to your lover words
Soothing from your mother words

My mother said so much
Often on a whim
Unintentional little fibs
Fly off the handle digs
Cross words
Off words
Blame words
Why is this my fault i thought
I’m good, im just a kid

My lover said he loved me so
All he had were words
Robot me took them as lies
How could my mind accept just words
My lover fought me till he was bruised and bloodied too
He showed me words were true
You are beauty you are good
You are mine and you are loved
Until we’re old and die

Confusing lucky words
Hopeful mighty words

Words alone mean nothing
Words and actions fill
Words are all we have he said
I say learn to walk as well
