Words
Words, words, WORDS!
All jumbled up inside.
Some simple
Fish, banana, slide.
Others confusing
Hope, Fear, Hurt.
I can touch a fish, a banana, or a slide.
So what is the need for words like Hope?
What exactly is Hope?
It certainly isn’t tangible.
Have you ever seen something labeled Hope on a can in the market?
Just thinking about it makes my mind spin.
Words are simply too confusing.
Things that are tangible are understandable.
There is obviously no need for words like Hope, Fear and Hurt.
So why?
My teacher says they are expressive words.
They express people’s feelings.
Feelings.
Another word I do not like.
The world would be simpler if there were no emotions,
No feelings,
Just things.
