Words

pretty words for ugly thoughts and feelings, is some ridiculous attempt to make them seem better, or to feel better about them.

i wonder if i do it so that in some area of my life i can feel elegant, if only through the word pictures i create....however i would also venture to guess that often they are more like a 3 legged ox than a swimming swan.


i like hearing pretty words, but they must have substance behind them, the feelings must be true, for when pretty words are empty it is like frostbite on the heart.

somehow sugar coating the truth makes it easier to swallow, but life is rarely like that the truth can be bitter to swallow and burns as it goes down, there is nothing you can do to change it, just endure and accept it.

there is power in words, the power of life and death, the power to harm or heal, include or exclude.
i want my words to be powerful because of the message they speak but i want them to be pretty as well, to convey that bitter truth but to sugar coat it enough to make it a little easier to swallow. the world is harsh enough...but does sweetening it somehow diminish the power of the truth???
i don't know, all i know is the truth will cram itself down your throat whether you want it or not i just hope whoever is feeding it to me is kind enough to pass the syrup.
