Tell me, do you wait for the words
Or do you toss them around
Longing for your heart to be heard
*
Do you scavenge, like a bird
Collecting them from the ground
Tell me, do you wait for the words
*
Are you a literal, learning literary nerd
Reeling from the treasures you’ve found
Longing for your heart to be heard
*
Falling completely in love with the absurd
Playing rhymes like a life changing sound
Tell me, do you wait for the words
*
Trying new ways, telling the things you have learned
Falling, yet adjusting your crown
Longing for your heart to be heard
*
No longer afraid of being burned
Leaving the ashes behind, scattered round
Tell me, do you wait for the words
Longing for your heart, to be heard
