These Are Not Just Words

Anthony Hanible

These are not just words

They are wounded birds

Cries beneath the skin

Fights we hide within

They are flames of pain

Dancing through the rain

Scars that learned to shine

Truth between each line

They are roots below

Feeding what we grow

Hearts no longer blurred

Souls that must be heard

These are more than words
