They Are Just Words Poem by Ulysses Cabinatan

They are just words,
Yet they can wound.
They are just words,
Yet they can destroy.
They are just words,
Yet they can poison.
They are just words,
Yet they can break a dream.

They are just words
But they can heal.
They are just words,
But they can bless.
They are just words,
Yet they can nourish.
They are just words,
Yet they can encourage.
They are just words,
Yet they can uplift.
They are just words,
Yet they give hope.
They are just words,
Yet they give strength.
