18. there is no reality in words

by Nanette Bellman

 

so this must be make believe.
and these feelings,
they can't be real.
 
i think you've forgotten all about words.
i think you forgot to think about your words.
 
because words aren't just made for paper.
we speak them too.
 
if there is no reality in words,
which is what you say,
 
    then everything you ever speak is lie.

Author's Note: i didn't say it, someone else did. not too sure i'm happy with this one though, maybe revision.

It does feel a little too disjointed, but that might be only because you suggested you might need to revise it. I like what's here, but it does feel oddly incomplete, and I'm not totally sure why.

The only reality is what you make of it. Each of us has their own reality based upon the life experiences we bring to it. The same is true for words. There are many hues in the color blue.
