There are too many words, or not enough,
Or just the wrong ones, since I cannot say
Anything substantial. It's all bluff
And bluster, and the words get in the way
Of honesty - which isn't always bad.
Being too open, blatantly sincere,
Can be quite dangerous. I've often had
A definite and influential fear
That saying what I really think could cause
Disasters I can't mention. Words can tear
At places that cannot be patched with gauze,
And there are thoughts that nobody should share
With or without words. So sometimes I am
Happy all my words are just a sham.
