Words matter.
Words matter.
Choose them carefully today.
Don’t use words to hurt others,
however good it might feel to hurt them.
Use your words to empower others.
Use your words like building blocks.
Words are worthy and useful only when you use them
to build a better world.

that her songs failed

and began to dialog with herself
even when nobody listened.

and responded with strange answers.

you may discover their love
in their whispers, looks or gestures.
But it is those who hate you
that shout hostility at you loud and clear.

unloved ones; workmates;
colleagues; friends; foes;
