Cost

Words are costly

How much do your words cost

It cost you family

It cost you a relationship

It cost you memories

Every time you open your mouth

Your tongue cost you the next step in your life

Good and bad is the same thing

Without either the earth is unbalanced

Orbiting with problems to create

Star dust to help us believe

There is a such thing as good

In reality it's the cloud of thoughts we want to hold onto to ease our pain

Pain is created through holding on to

Things we want to keep alive
