My conversant self knows the power that words yield//
The power to speak into your heart negativity that destroys your core//
The won’t, can’t, don’t the mustn’t and hasn’t//
The negativity that will destroy your hearts desires//
Cull your creativity before it can even begin to flourish//
Kills your spirit, yes your very core is destroyed by the power of words//
Words can keep you in a sea tumultuous//
You trapped!
Yes trapped in a life boat rowing till your palms are raw and getting you no where//
Such is the power of words when used to opress//
Used to breakdown and manipulate for selfish pleasures//
The power of words can turn an ocean liner into a life boat struggling against the current//
How do you take simple harmless words//
And fashion them into that sword that you continually sharpen to slice through me//
Why do i let it happen. I know my worth//
And I know my power of words//
My God given strength. My power of words//
I will, I can, I did, I should and I have.
My core is back. From a life boat to a sail boat//
Wished sails on myself, I knew my destination but allowed the wind to steer me//
To avoid imminent danger…….
I learned how to navigate with the wind and the stars at my disposal//
So now wish to be an ocean liner, richly furnished, and awesome//
With destinations and routes firmly etched within.
I know what I want and your power is lost on me.
I have my own power of words within.
Yes MY POWER OF WORDS//

Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with a few pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is excellent blog. An excellent read. I’ll definitely be back.
