Just Words...

With my words I could defend myself
I could fight you and win
With these letters I can form feelings of contentment or overflowing joy
I could be happy again.

I could express undying love
Unwavering devotion
I could pen my heart's truest desires

But

These are nothing but words.
I can’t hide behind them
They’ll never inspire me to be great
Tomorrow they will fade into nonexistence

And I’ll still be...

Weak

Defenseless

Depressed

Pitiful...

    Nice, this poem is amazing!

    I could say i understand how you feel, but i can't say it. Because it's not the truth. No one will ever really relate or understand how you feel. But excellent write keep up the great work!

    i hate those generic comments like it's full of emotions and so descriptive, so annoying, lol

    but i love the part after the but, speaking on the fragility of words, in my view your right and wrong, powerful words can be held forever yet the words you speak in simple non-sense soon fade into the abyss of forgotten memories

    This poem is full of emotions which makes it a good write. Even if it's just words, they are very powerful depending on the way they're used...
    I thank you for sharing this with me. God Bless...

    Actually, I like this poem, it has real human meaning and feeling because so many people go through this and wish they could say or be someone who could stand up strong and they just can't. I know this feeling myself. This is just a fine poem. I must say that in the first stanza the last line has 'can could' where it only needs one of those words. I think the rest of the first stanza is fine. In second stanza , apostrophe in 'heart's'.
