There are millions of words.
With thousands of definitions,
And hundreds of uses.
Use them well.

Think before you say.
Take the time to formulate.
Your wording is important.
It can spell fate or demise.

The smallest word
Can have the sharpest prick.
The largest word
Can be gentle as a feather tip.

Do not use words
To define a person.
We are so much more
Than words can describe.

Do not assign us
A status or rank.
We rise above them
More each day.

I am more than you think.
I cannot be defined.
Do not try to tie me down
With letters unrefined.

My tongue is sharp.
I know words too.
I will sever those ties
Right into two.

I warn you now,
Before I break,
That words mean more
Than most would think.
