Words can hit you like a car,
dragging you along leaving a scar
a painful echo in your head,
a constant reminder of what you said
Words like whispers in the breeze,
carrying rumors through the trees
they come to haunt you in the night,
keeping you up, filling you with fright
Words like thunder in the sky,
strike you like lightning making you cry
Coming for you, tearing you apart
leaving nothing but a broken heart
But after the storm, a calm arrives
a battle you’ve won, a peace in your mind
where wounds of wind begin to mend,
with better days up ahead
Like how nature heals, so does your soul
with time it mends and makes you whole
the world is yours, find your own spark
lead yourself through the dark.
