Untitled - 3/15/02 (At 19)

but the mud inside my head
doesn't seem to come out
when you're reaching through my ear
squeeze until i shout
wring it till i cry
numb me with the pain
make your presence known
leave your imprint on my brain
sometimes i don't know
what it is i vocalize
the path from brain to mouth
becomes this compromise
so why not go ahead
open me up and look around
cause that's what i mean
that's how i feel
and that's our common ground

It used to be a lot harder for me to identify my feelings and then to express them verbally. but it is getting easier for me now. It's not exactly second nature, but I find my reactions popping out of my mouth a lot quicker, which is a good thing for me.

  1. It sounds like a lot of progress. I use restraint of tongue and pen these days.
