Power over fear.

I have so much to express, but no words come. It is as if they are afraid. Afraid, like I am afraid. I am not afraid of their shape but of their power. The power of words can be completely terrifying. Words cut through the body faster than any physical object ever could. You wait for years to hear the good words and spend hours dreading the bad. Then we realize words are only marks on a page or waves pounding on the beaches of our ears. We have power to assign meaning to the words and yet we are afraid. I am afraid of what your words mean. We are all frightened of what the words mean.
