Words Poem by Claire Abbott

Words are words are words,
They have a meaning,
They say something,
They love, they hurt, they do whatever you want.

But words are words are words,
They are insignificant,
Non-sensical,
Non-meaningful
They are only words.

They convey our feelings,
The convey our love,
They convey our wants,
Our hopes and our dreams,
But they are just words.

Words are just that,
Noises with meaning,
Meaning what you want them to mean,
Sounding how you make them sound,
They mean everything or nothing at all,
As words are only words.

They can please, they can hurt,
They can make you smile or cry,
They convey a message from one to another,
But words are only words.

Words are not needed,
The sound could be still,
The use of pictures, of sight and taste and touch,
Does everything a word can do and more.
Cos words are only words.

They can mean everything or nothing at all,
But somethings cannot be put into words,
They cannot explain everything,
They do not explain anything at all,
Really words are just words
