Words

What's in a word?
This crazy simple word
This thing that means absolutely nothing
yet means so much more than anything

What's in a word?
That evolves like everything else
When one day can mean glee
May someday mean empty

What's with a word?
When put together so eloquently can lift up spirits
And delete some, neglect some
and it can bring your world crashing down

What's with a word?
String them together and take them apart
They show a glimpse of your locked-up heart

What's with a word?
All these crazy words
I sit, I stare, and yet expresses nothing of my feelings
Then one day reveal, Eureka it seems

We lose it at times
We have it all at others
We regret some
We embrace others
Once out released into the void
There is not taking it back

Words
We underestimate their power
Take it, learn it, arm yourself
What's with a word?
It's a way towards freedom
