words are knives, sharp and painful but also beautiful and well crafted

 the forge is the mouth, it spits sparks of ideas once lost long ago to the ages, brought back to life by a single thing. the mind.

the mind? 

yes, the mind.

the mind is the drawing board where the knives are designed, coming to life here. 

if not for the mind and the knives spewed from other forges that are full of jealousy and hate, the knives we create and the choices we make would all be for nothing.

but who am i to have such thoughts? 

relating simple words to a tool that can be used to take lives? 

because it's true, words are knives.

a single human being can take the life of another through knives drawn in the mind and made in forge that we call a mouth.

but, that's not all these knives do.

these knives can turn into a beautiful bouquet of flowers

bringing light to one lost in a valley of knives our inner critique has forged on it's own.

so I'll ask you this dear reader, who do you want to be?

the one with a knife?

or

the one with a thorn-less rose?
