You Are Reading

05.09.08

I open my mouth and try to speak–
Try to verbalize thoughts and feelings
Scattered in mind, hardly organized by my tongue.
Hard to find a way to portray it all right.

So much on mind, I long to share.
Difficulty telling you what I mean.
How can I explain when you don’t want to hear?
I can’t make you accept my humble words.

Should I just shut my mouth or will you listen?
Have you already decided your set reaction?
Should I just walk away cause you won’t listen?
What’s the point when I already know your reaction to what I say?


Again you’re upset, what can I do?
I’ve phrased it as best as I possibly can.
Nothing I say ever reaches your heart.
It only runs through your ears and triggers your temper.

Should I just shut my mouth or will you listen?
Have you already decided your set reaction?
Should I just walk away cause you won’t listen?
What’s the point when I already know your reaction to what I say?


You’re walking away; I’m frozen in place.
Should I even try now to make you stay?
I’ve tried so many times before to no avail.
I’m helpless to change anything, so I can only say goodbye.

Should I just shut my mouth or will you listen?
Have you already decided your set reaction?
Should I just walk away cause you won’t listen?
What’s the point when I already know your reaction to what I say?


Could anything hurt as much as feeling mute?
Like anything expressed is always misread.
Can I ever impact others in positive ways?
Good intention will only carry me so far.
Meaning well doesn’t mean anything when it dies in the air.
No one can hear… I can’t do much here.
