They Can Break You

It can break

You

Into a million

Pieces

If you

Let it.

A kind of crushing

Bitterness

But you can

Fight it

You can find

Joy and happiness.

It can tell

Stories

Of heartbreak

But also of triumph

It tells

Of Faith

And love.

The words

They shout

In love

And in hate

Have the power to

Make you

Or break you.

What is it

Going to be?

The words

You save

Have the power

To make

You or break you

Just as they have

The power

To hurt or

Help

Those around

You!
