Simple

They say the greatest speeches of all time,
Have used small words to say big things.
So I am trying to make a rhyme,
That has a simply worded ring.

I can say the same things as always,
Keeping my words short; simply -
I find I'm walking through my days,
And I'm as dead as dead can be.

I can get mad at things that hurt,
I can type text that helps the pain.
I can do this, as plain as dirt -
My largest words washed down the drain.

I've tossed the giant words away,
And can express the thoughts I hear.
And though I have no more to say,
The words I used? Enough. So clear.
