"Words"

What happens when the words you need
are not found inside you head?

What happens when the words you speak
won't come out instead?

Where do you go to find the words,
when comfort is need in them?

Digging deep inside to find the right ones
you come back empty handed.

Searching your heart for encouragement
leaves you on an island stranded.

They hurt, they wound, they fail you.
They build walls around you.
They bury you deeper in the earth.
They shouldn't, but they do.

Now imagine, my friend, the difference
of knowing just what to say.

Would you use them to make a difference?
would you use them correct today?

Time to take the self out to say the right words.
Time to make the self fall in line to say the right words.
Time to fall upon his sword to find the right words.
