Words, words, words
Words, words, words,
So many yet I use barely any
Words, words, words
What do they convey?
Perhaps they're about someone
Maybe a bird flying free
Or the most beautiful face you've ever seen.
Sometimes I do not listen to these words
But that does not mean I lack the skill
Sometimes they sound like a bird's squawking bill
But other times they sound as sweet as honey
These words I find almost funny
Yet I cease to laugh and hold in my joy
For sometimes others think there are things I shouldn't deploy.
Words, words, words
What can they do?
They can harm others
But I choose not that to do
Instead, I choose my way of things
And my way I think deserves some praise
I know others that use words to hurt
And to that, I say why?
Do you gain happiness?
Does it make your day?
Tell me hurtful words
What do you say?
Now you probably aren't one of the rude words
But I'm sure you've said something you regret
Words you wish you could take back
But they stick
And you can't get rid of them
Some rude words are used against you
And maybe you don't think that's fair
But you are the one who said the rude words
Actions have words too
Like a husband and wife's affair
Someone who likes to share
And perhaps you weren't aware
And that is quite rare
But what words do you use in your actions
Are they kind?
Are they rude?
Ask yourself what you do
Words can describe
Which words would you use
To describe how you're feeling
Perhaps you are feeling sad
Maybe mad
But those are the little words
To get your point across
You would use the big words
Frustrated, agitated, perturbed
Meloncaley, gloom, misery
These words are used barely any
Yet you have room for plenty
You've come to the end of the words
You ran out
But do not pout
The end could not be farther
So being distressed is just a bother
Remember to use your big words in times of need
And never forget how much words
Can help you succeed

I wrote this for a reading assignment where we had to talk about something important to me, and what's more important than the words I use every day.
