W O R D S ....

Words…..

Do they spill out of you without warning or do you have trouble forming them? I don’t know which one is a better option, the easier option. Because in both you’re up against a powerful force.

Are words your friends or your enemies? Because I have days when they are former, days when they are latter and days when they are both, not to forget those days when they are simply not there. Empty-headed. I call those my peaceful days.

Do you give voice to your words or is it the other way round? Because I feel there’s a very thin line between the two.

Do forced words hurt you? Because if it isn’t coming naturally to you, it is bound to drain you.

Are words selfish? It’s what the people make them to be, is what many would say, I believe. But I think they are. Selfish.

Are your words really yours? Because many use borrowed ones.

Do you have the right words? Because words are deceptive. Right today, wrong tomorrow. Here now, gone the next moment. Playful.

But, and I feel this is by far the most important, are your words alive? Because if they are not, you’re not that far either...
