all i have are words

[saganworshipper]

my girl is outspoken,
she's out numbered
but hey we're all underdogs.
we're not barking
(too loudly)
and we don't bite
(unless we're playing).
and who doesn't need a scratch
behind the ears
from those hands
more often than not
or never?

what's inside
is all there is.
i stammer trying to get any of it
out.
but i won't be stifled
by my indignation.
silenced.
