Today's word is "lexicon" ... LEX-si-kon ... the vocabulary of a particular language, field, social class person, etc. (dictionary.com)
Open
Long or short our words ...
At our speech they stare,
What is in your lexicon,
What is really there?
Do our words reveal,
Who we really are?
Do they expose our prejudice,
Our yearning or our scars?
What is deep within,
Will seep out through our skin,
And the truth of that,
Is where we must begin.
