Word

 

In the beginning was the word
So will it be at the end
Everything begins and ends with a word
But just one misplaced word
Can make the difference
Between inspiration and revulsion

You matter, don’t give up
You don’t matter, give up
A small change and
Motivation can turn into repugnance

You need love, don’t start hating
You don’t need love, start hating
A small change and
Affection can turn into contempt

Please repent, don’t peddle lies
Please don’t repent, peddle lies
A small change and
Encouragement can turn into resentment

In the beginning was the word
Whatever that word may mean to you
Choose the word wisely
Speak the word from the heart
Pick the word bravely
Express the word with love

Your word is what you are
Your word is your bond
You’re only as good as your word
What is your word?

- S.T. Arasu
