When Language Fails me

Words are such weak things when we need them to carry the truth. The strongest of words things like, “You will be okay”, bend when placed abutting modifiers or when the tone in which they are spoken conveys any hint of a question. Words fail us when we need them to be a stone embankment against fear, doubt and anxiety. I wish my words were enough sometimes, because there are moments when my heart and soul cannot raise the standard of the whole truth.
