Words are funny.
They give everything and nothing at the same time.
Conferring feelings and thoughts,
Hopes, dreams and wonders,
Yet they are merely puzzle pieces in a grand masterpiece,
which may or may not be complete.
Words that hope to communicate,
though easy to manipulate.
Written sentences deleted after agonized time,
or simply Frankensteined.
Maybe an emoticon can better show intent?
Punctuation marks imitating empathy,
Real or deceived.
Creating what's perceived.
Words breading hate.
Words fanning joy.
Words desiring love,
Or simply annoy.
Still, always, Words feed the soul.

P.S. While writing this I stumbled on a Wikipedia page showing emoticons. Turns out many of the emoticons I use are called Kaomoji faces, originating out of Japan. Heh, probably due to my early days obsessing over anime and whatnot back when the internet was a teenager.
