Words fail.
Not just me.
All of us.
It’s a world of words.
A mean world of mean words devoid of meaning.
We’re trying to wield them like weapons.
Like shields.
To strike back.
To defend.
They fail.
The. Words. Are. Not. Working.
Ineffectual. Insufficient. Inadequate. Impotent.
They don’t cut.
They don’t deflect.
There has to be another solution.
Another remedy.
Another word.
Words should matter.
Words fail.
