Words

Sometimes words fall short

not because you can’t construct

a sentence that means

all the things that

your heart has been shouting out

for SO long,

but because

you can’t get

the right ears

to listen to them.

So it doesn't matter

if you hold it in

or scream out loud

cause deep inside

you’ll be scratching and pulling,

crying and yelling,

wishing and praying,

for some people

to listen

to what you have to say.

And sooner or later

you will give up,

you say you won’t

but yes you will.

And the day will come

when you’ll speak so much

without ever

really saying

the things

you actually

want to say.
