Words

Ashley Arnold

Use your words, its what I've always been told.
F#*& that! My words have grown mold.
Nobody listens, nobody hears,
Nobody wonders why I'm even here.
My words are lost on my ears alone,
They have no home, nowhere to roam.
They bounce and jangle around my brain,
Enough to drive five men insane.
They never stop, they never end,
They just find the beginning and start again.
