The Power of Words
Words like whispers, soft or loud, Can shape the mind, form a cloud. They carry weight, though light they seem, Build or shatter someone’s dream. A simple phrase can soothe the pain, Or twist and sting like falling rain. They pacify, they comfort, heal, But too, they cut, make wounds feel real. A word of love, a word of hate, Can shift a heart, decide its fate. To trust or doubt, it’s left to choice, But words, they always leave a voice. Stories, true or built on lies, They twist, they turn, in truth’s disguise. It’s us who choose to trust or doubt, For words can lead, or cast us out. So speak with care, and know the power, For words can rise or make one cower. They can destroy, or build anew— It’s all in what you choose to do. Daya Nair🫶
