Words

Use my words I’ve been told,
Let my actions speak louder,
My mouth seems to take over a room.
Speak they say
But know what to say when to say it.
Condemned for my mouth
Robbed of my freedom
My voice shall be heard
But trouble is attracted to my words.
I seek clarity
But find confusion
I hunger for answers
Yet ask pointless questions.
My thoughts are released
Without consideration of others
The world tells me to watch what I say
But I’ve never had a filter
Why change today?
I’m stuck between silence and too loud
I use to be proud
But now I find myself lost
And I ask myself,
When is it enough?
