Words....

And the words fall

So easily 

From your pen 

and your mouth 

and your keyboard 

and tap tap, 

Your fingers do go 

and the irony 

Is you do not see 

You are a being of light 

But extinguishing others 

Doesn't make you brighter, 

you have fallen too, 

Oh you have fallen too, 

Into a well, 

As she claws your back, 

You are so easily taken 

and deceived, 

Remember in this street, 

There is a way of thinking 

That you may not understand, 

Nor comprehend 

So what... 

If all the conquests 

Rolled into one 

Finally one day 

Will catch up, 

With you...... 

Sticks and stones, 

Careful, 

Don't stand too close...... 

I am not nothing, 

We are all something, 

Gossip, . 

The lowest form of, 

Communication 

And oh how you do it well,

How she does it well, 

How they do it well, 

Fall into your well, 

As she claws your back... 

I hope you find your salvation 

But do not mock 

Another's progress 

No matter how small, 

That progress may be, 

It does not make your light shine brighter 

And it only dims the world's. 

 

◄ Healing.

Vows. ►
