Beware of Words

We know We have heard it before There is a certain power in words The sentiments we express in order to feel real But Words are spoken Actions are taken Sure, you can be taken by some words - be it pretty or stirring But they build up either way They build something in and around you Beware of all the words you say To or about yourself Police your inner monologue And be weary Notice your friends, how they talk There can be pain in their voice And all they talk about is how much They enjoyed their forced birthday party Listen - be and stay aware of words Act on what you notice You are a good, smart cookie So beware and use all your power To help your dearest And yourself One by one, the hurt will lift From our voices And we will sing together again
