My Words

 

I wish I could throw my words like a football

Spiraling down the page.

 

I wish I could perform my words like an actor

Portraying them on stage.

 

I wish I could capture my words like animals

Locking them in a cage.

 

But my words are my words and they are my words

and they are simple and plain.

 

They stick to their sentence and live off of structure

And always are punctuated.

 

They need to be proper, both spelling and grammar

Especially if they are dictated.

 

They live in their context with simple plain content

Revising only as needed.

 

But my words are my words and they are my words

And I use none of them the same.
