When I try to explain
the way that I feel,
it comes out all wrong,
the words don’t seem real.
I find it hard to speak
the words inside my soul,
but give me a pen,
and my true feelings flow.
The words I could say,
but it wouldn’t capture the light.
If I put it on paper,
it always looks right.
Spoken words rarely reflect
the darkness and pain.
When I write it all down,
I feel a little more sane.
When the words that I’ve written
gets way too hard to bear,
then I know that I can show them
to someone that’ll care
