To Those That Wonder

To those that wonder

I say to you,

Words sting and burn

They rip and tear,

They eat at your brain,

Slowly ripping at it,

Slowly tearing off chunks and tossing them away,

They destroy your self-esteem,

To those that wonder

Everything you say out of spite

Those that hear it always remember,

Even when you do not.

Evil words are never forgotten,

They sit in your mind stewing,

Then when they finally come to a boil

Rash actions are taken,

Ones that can never ever be taken back

To those that wonder,

Words are to be blamed for all our strife,

Words carry power they are said with,

I say to you think before speaking 

Words speak louder than actions

The right words can make all the difference 

You alone can change what you say

You alone cam also ignore this call

You alone can continue to speak these words

To let them destroy someone,

Let peoples own minds betray them 

Think thoughts of darkness,

Thoughts of evil and malice

Destructive thoughts that divide us,

Separate us and make us feel as if we are not human

But, we are human

We are not freaks or monsters

We are human in the fullest sense of the word

We are kind, we are loving 

To those that wonder

I say to you 

Stop wondering and start acting
