Cannot Be Spoken


Pen to paper

That is all people see

Because why I write

Is unique to me

Emotions are running

But my mouth fails to speak

So my hand starts moving

To explain what I seek

I know they are not perfect

Neither am I

So you know what I write

Can never truly be a lie

Some slash their wrists

Others run about

For me when things become to much

I simply write it out
