Words mean nothing if they are not read

Its like if a tree falls in a forest does it really make a sound

It doesn't matter how many feet it had to fall to hit the ground

So did it really fall


Words mean nothing if they are not said

But if they don’t come out of your mouth

They could bounce around in your head


May as well just go without 


Words mean nothing if they are not heard

And I mean you have to hear every word

Give words the meaning the deserve

Give every word a chance

Do not be the culprit

Stealing meanings beyond just a definition

Let people be heard 

Don’t steal a single word 

Because that would be absurd

I'm a 14 year old girl who live in St.Louis I wrote this poem because one of my teachers suggested I do it.
