Words For You

Words on a page.  What will they do?

Reach into the darkest parts of you?

Look all around to see who you are,

Every gold treasure, and each faded scar...

Words to pierce you all the way through...

Words.  I know they can change you, too.

Words on a page that I've laid in store.

Words from a heart wishing to do more.

Words that have saved and also condemned

So many hearts with no way to defend.

Words that have mended, and also tore

Glowing soul tendrils that breathed in soul's core.

Words that have so much more to say.

Maybe there's something that stands in our way.

Some great future we wish to own

That, for some reason, we can't get all alone.

Won't come near, to hear, play, or stay.

Our greatest dreams are not ours, today.

Words that show you will hurt again-

Should you keep on as you did then.

No pressure that tears you asunder

Can ever force you to stay under.

The pains, your own weight times ten,

Are tied to their roots, from way back when.

Words written, hoping your hope doesn't die.

You would never grow if you didn't cry.

Tears within teach you how others feel.

Fears inside reach out to help them heal.

Maybe your hell helps them always try.

Can it grant a new hope's start in their eyes?

Words on a page, written in need.

Words changing something inside as you read.

Words wishing you see strength you hold.

Words able to warm up your cold.

Words able to grow flowers from seed.

Words of hope, hoping you'll heed.

Words on a page.  Words heart-meant 

Deep into your You have now been sent.

The embattled You waits no more.

I think it's time you walked out of your core.

Much of your spirit-coin has been spent.

Words for you.  Walk out,  

 And repair what was rent.
