To Speak, Or Hold thy Word

The gift of speech, is a curse as well.
In part because it can cast a spell.
With actions, they can only trick.
While words, can change the mind.

They may not break bones, and they
are not harmful stones.
But, they tear, is what they do.
They tear in to me or you.

Unworthy of hearing are words commonly spoke,
and all those words do, is provoke the unneeded.
So writing fills the spot, where things are thought out,
writing takes a spot where things are said but don't
need to be read.
That is where I lay my rest to words.
