Wield My Words

You wield my words as weapons

Aimed straight at the truth

No need to deal with me directly

When you can sit and read

But these words are open

To so much interpretation

That how you can assume to know

I’ll never understand

The only way to find

What I really think and feel

Is to hear it from my mouth

Not from the essence of my muse

Who draws her inspiration

From so much of the world around her

So as to pollute the message

With noise meant to motivate

Distract and entertain

Don’t worry, I won’t try to speak

Until you’re ready to hear
