Take These Words

-Take These Words-

Take these words
Turn them to the left
Take these words
Turn them to the right
Take these words
Hold them upside down
Take these words
Place them upward bound
Take these words
Look at every possible angle
Take these words
Study each tedious detail
Take these words
Leave nothing to chance
Take these words
Understand what is written
Take these words
Comprehend the expression
Take these words
Place them deep inside
Take these words
Let them fester like an infected wound
Take these words
Dare not seek any treatment
Take these words
Suffer all that is intended
Take these words
Regret nothing of the pain caused
Take these words
Learn the lesson needed
Take these words
Repudiate the warning heeded
Take these words
Let the impossible become possible
Take these words
Never again be afraid of what’s unknown
Take these words
Never again be ashamed
Take these words
And with them the confidence needed
Take these words
Find a way to make them your own
Take these words
Because they are more for you than me
Take these words
Change all that hurts you so
Take these words
Knowing that there are others like you
Take these words
And make something of yourself
Take these words
Because I wrote them for you
Take these words
And never worry about looking back
Take these words
Become more than poetic inspiration
Take these words
Get from them what you need
Take these words
Written for you
Take these words
Written for everyone else
Take these words
Decipher what you want to hear
Take these words
And never give them back
Take these words…
