Words don't help

Books have more words than you
They're well formulated and organized
They don't leave you on a clue
They know what they're going to say

But I don't
I mix up my words
Say things that are incorrect
My sentences seem to fly away like birds

I apologize for my rapidity
I say the first thing on my mind
Never let the other person have last
To much confusion and ragidity

I never seem to say the right thing
When I just listen
People seem to put me under their wing

When words aren't enough
Just stop saying stuff
