Words

Words
They yell
Scream
Shout
For attention
And I give it to them
Whatever they need
It's theirs
In return
I
Get
Power
The power to make words obey
To make them sit in sentences for me
To mean something different
Something new
Something no one has dared to say before
That is my purpose
All I want is to
Shout
To all the world
I am powerful
But no
I must
Get
Away
From
Words
Pulled this way and that
How do I decide?
In the end it is easy
I must sacrifice
Everything
I know
Love
Cherish
The power of words is to great
For even me to withstand
