Words

These words I write
Interpret them as you may
The words I write are me
More than anything I could say

These words I write are my thoughts
Which make up my internal self
These words I write have their meaning
Like the pictures on my shelf

More than my actions I am defined
By my limitations and my reach
By those things I am inside
By the ideas and values that I keep

I am not just my past actions
I am more of their effect
Don't think of just what I do
Don't leaving seeing my mind in neglect

Actions may speak load
What is it they say?
Think of what you've heard directly
With what truth both words and actions sway

Actions only reflect
What thoughts and words are inside
I am even what you can't see
The thoughts and words I hide

I am the words I use
I am the meaning I convey
I am nothing but my own thoughts
Interpret them as you may
