I Write the Words..

When sadness touches my heart
I write the words I cannot speak

I write the words I want to scream
I write the words that silence me

I write the words you never hear

I wish sometimes I could say them aloud
Without the thought, you’d knock me down
With your words of confusion or even your delusion, right back at me

Verbally I get confused, I stutter,
I scramble for new words to use
Words in my defence and not to amuse

I wish you would just listen
Not go back on your word
And listen to the words that I have to say

Never cruel
Just telling you how I feel
Never to offend
Just telling you what I mean

But I stay silent and write the words that flow so easily on the paper, as I cannot speak…
