Words

I have so many words

     that no one has heard

So much to say that it

     gets in the way

A dark side, a light side,

     a sometimes too bright side

I have ideas and thoughts

     that I wish I could share

On a large scale basis,

     lay everything bare

I don't say it right

     when I start talking

But give me a keyboard

      and my fingers start walking

My mind is a treasury of information,              stories untold and inspiration

If I kept everything inside,

     all I could say I tried to hide

I'm afraid I'd simply up and explode

     because it would become

         too heavy a load

It isn't that I know so much,

     that I have the keys to life and such

I just get so filled with words

     that if I don't spill them

           and make myself heard

I feel like I would wither away

     or just become average

           and everyday

Being able to use the written word

     it's a gift not to use would be absurd

I lay my soul right out to read

     but it's something that I have to heed

If you know what I'm talking about

     then you have it to,

             of that there's no doubt.
