words

no, you are not alone,
words are by your side,
hold them close to you,
feel your cheer multiply,

shape them as you like,
see them soar high,
let them lead you,
on journeys far and wide,

words, they mean a lot,
said from the heart,
can inspire your soul,
or lead it to its rot,

but mask them, do not,
for they can hurt,
break friendships of years,
stunt new fledgling ones,

words are your guide,
safely by your side,
make them your own,
you won’t feel alone.
