Use the subtitles filter instead.

ffmpeg -y -f lavfi -i color=c=white:s=640x480:d=5 -vf "subtitles=subs.srt" output.mp4

You can generate ASS or SRT subtitles manually or via Aegisub.

Example SRT:

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
This is new whiteboard testing no padding and the text is overflowing from the video frame check this  need to acheve word wrapping.

ASS files are more complicated structurally, but they allow more formatting options. Otherwise, you can use the force_style option in the subtitles filter. Search this site for several examples.
