Feelings
Sometimes it’s hard to express
The things I feel in words
I think clichés unwieldy
As an overbearing bird
I try to speak my mind
But that is easier said than done
I try to give a reason
But others just poke fun
Why can’t things just happen?
Why don’t barriers fall?
Why don’t people understand?
Do I make sense at all?
When I speak in other’s presence
Do I appear concerned?
When I stutter, fall, or stumble,
Do I appear unlearned?
These questions oft are left unanswered
And I am left to pine
Do people even notice me
Or is it all in my mind?
