Words are everything, everywhere, all at once
Words can be bandages. The term “Im fine” holds together the fragile strings of one's life. As everything slips away the words pull the pieces in. Overused so much that they lose all meaning the words still cover the gaping wounds that are invisible to all but you. They can be the match of a fire that warms up the life of one that has lost all hope. Bringing the sun around when it has been gone for so long. The words” I love you” brighten the gray days. Words can be knives. Sinking deep into the skin of enemies. Whips that leave scars in their wake. Fueled by anger and meant to kill, and destroy. They can be permanent yet disappearing. Words spoken out loud. Whether one or many are out there in the universe. Their effects are reverberated to the ends of the earth. As it goes something is not true until it is spoken out loud. Even in the lack of words, the silence, words live. The emptiness with the lack of the meaning of discussion. The lack of sound, noise, and life. Says just as much as the busy city where silence is forever lost. Complexity becomes words the long terms used to define and describe Medical conditions with their long names, or the lengthy paragraph with words that hold the weight of a thousand suns. Words are like messengers. We fill them up with emotion and meaning and then send them to others around us. The simple words that are so common they get lost in the sentence. Are so vitally important. Human emotion and desire is built off them. A mere two letters the entirety of belonging “We” is the difference between being alone and being accepted as a part of something. Words are everything The communication between friends The message screamed into the rain The ideas, hopes, and dreams that we share with each other Words are everywhere The chatter on the playground The singing in churches In the loudest of cities And the quietest of places Words exist All at once Words string together to create meaning They are the ebb and flow of society Pulling people together and pushing them apart Every species has a way to communicate with each other And the way of humans, the way of living in this world is through words.
