Hurt or Trust

Whatever We Feel They Should Mean

I believe in words,
the words we speak when we have nothing to say,
the words we tell others when they’re down,
the hurt or trust behind them,
beauty, loyalty, courage.

But the belief that one doesn’t know what to say is false;
the truth is they are just too scared to say it.

I believe that words can be made up.
I believe that by saying the words we feel, we are relieved of pressure, loneliness.
I believe that words can mean whatever we feel they should mean,
hope, love, faith.

And I believe that we can change what others think,
just by the way we say our words.
