How much power a word holds How much you can learn from a conversation How much you can change a world, a person By tipping it over the edge A little saying Reflects a person’s character From an “I” instead of a “we” From a “mine” instead of an “ours” Small words reveal. Because those things people can’t control, not really They slip out They pinpoint one’s true character, beneath the persona They’ve created for the world The contents of the conversation, The easiness of one’s voice, Discloses the closeness of each person. How if the group only discusses the past, Past teachers, past school, past friends – Reveals they are only connected to each other by the past, By their old selves Having roots, but growing separate ways. How if two seem to only find the hate in the world, Describes their relationship to the easiest emotion that can be relayed Without having to get deep and sentimental And sad - As happiness can be the hardest feeling to find. How each outing, each time Gives you the choice to go deep Or continue to cruise on How one more word, one more question Can open a whole new can And it’s your choice, in that very moment To push you two over Or to anchor yourselves on land In the end, It’s about the effort you want to put in, Right? From the word to the conversation From unearthing the single person to opening the world. Comments are closed.
