Words, I Fear Words

With a capacity so frightening,
so dominant but enlightening.
The power to either destroy,
or make us jump with joy.
With the ability to wreck everything,
although so beautifying and encouraging.
They tear us,manipulate us,torment us,
and thus control us.
It`s our only way,
to express and say.
They fill my head,
but make me dread.
I`m scared, not of heart break,
nor spiders or a snake.
But scared of something,
that can be said.
