My life's limited
by the power of the words
I firmly edit.
Fear paralyzes
an already timid tongue,
seeking the right words.
An uncareful word
banishes without mercy
despite my wishes.
Unspoken words bind
tender thoughts that do not dare
to reveal themselves.
Befriended words build
stories that touch other's True
and soothe my sore soul.
Song Choice: Brave by Sarah Bareilles
