Words are often

The vehicle

To convey what you mean

Or intended to mean

---

Where the meaning and intention

Often get lost

In the perception

Of things

---

Some linked with our own

Fears, insecurities and ignorance

As it leads to further

misunderstandings and mistrust

---

In the end, have the courage

To address these little things

And, help mend the bridge

In the noise filled silence
