If I told you how I feel
would you hear my words
or would you hear
your inner voice?
I hope you care enough,
maybe you do,
to listen without
judging me based on what you think I should do or be.
These words are not easy for me,
things on my mind so often
yet I never let them out
and I wonder if you’ll look beyond yourself
to see the real me.
You may think this is about you,
maybe it is to some degree,
but it’s really about me.
I have so much to say
but for now I’ll keep it simple.
I feel so much,
I’m alone all of the time,
and sometimes it brings me down so low
but I’ve already said this before.
I feel so much,
things that contradict,
but I am only me within.
I feel so many things within,
emotional as I can be,
but I sometimes need to release this pressure.
I write these words so raw,
emotions hidden within,
but don’t look for meaning
when you will never understand
the words I write or say
without first knowing me…
