Words

Have you ever contemplated the complexity of a word? Sure they are just a conglomeration of letters and symbols smashed together, but have you ever sat back and realized the impact just one word can have? Words can be so powerful and moving and yet they can flip their switch be destructive and implosive all in the same breath. They can be the devastating difference between obtaining a dream career and getting thrown to the ever-feared rejection pile. Words are both powerful when said and when kept in. You'll never know the power words unsaid can have until they haunt you later in life. Words will describe our deepest aspirations with just a wisp of ink or the simple pound of a key. You may believe that a word is just that, a word. I believe that they are the way of showing an emotion when you are too afraid to let it shine through. I believe they can make you the person you have always seen yourself as. They can bring laughter to your lungs and then deliver a tear to your eye by just being composed in different manners. Words compose some of the well-played songs that stream though our speakers.  They can relinquish some of the most buried emotions you didn't even fathom coursing through your veins. Emotions that can lift you to the sky soaring with pride and determination and even the emotions that pull us to the rock-bottom we never knew we had. Words are just more than words, they are a foundation that lays out every fiber of our being.
