Filled Inside With Words

I am filled inside with words
That are trying to get out
Like an errant flock of birds
I fly about and shout

Let out what you can
Do not fill so much you burst
Even make another plan
You will not be the first

Words are our expressions
To show what we will do
Always make good impressions
To show that you are true

Say what you can say
Do not hold it in
To find another way
Is anything but sin

My word is my bond
Am I telling the truth
I would never abscond
That would be so uncouth

Are you liking my words
Or even hating my text
With the fluttering of birds
Am I really so vexed

The words drawn from my mind
Siphoned out just for you
Some words leave me blind
And feeling quite blue

My words make me happy
Smiling large for the day
Yes I do things quite snappy
So I can go out and play

My words can say bye
Even saying hello
And I don’t to try
What say will bellow
