my vocal chords are minor chords, never sound just right. i choke on words but minor words, little meaning too much might. i sing like the girl inside me is flying down my throat trying desperately to hold onto something. so many people trying to save her, but they are sure to stay at a safe distance. and i cough up another beautiful word. and i speak like i seek something more from my soul. yeah, i roll my tongue over my thoughts to shield them from the cold. and i wait for a moment to surrender my anthem to the deaf ears that surround me, but elapsed time means that the keeper of the moment-glass has found me. so at my trial i plead the fifth lips sealed. i look behind me and wish they knew me. i wish they knew me when i could have coughed up a symphony for them. so i take in deep breaths and open my mouth real wide, and i feel a snag somewhere inside me-and that's when the sound comes out. and i sputter my life out over the clutter of oohs and ahhs. it's ugly to them, it's too much. these blessable decibels push them to heights of discomfort. and they try to save me with words like forget and peace. they just can't see right past those words are the regrets of the deceased. so if i sing too loudly, my deepest apologies, i'm sorry. i'm sorry for them, the ones who can't see past my scattered english or my scarred helpless words. i wish they'd see me. i wish they'd stop asking why and how and when it all began. i wish they'd see it's not the meaning of life that matters. the reason i'm my thoughts are inarticulate and incoherently peeling, is because i lack meaning, i only speak in feeling. i think that it's brainless to assume that making changes to your window's view will gain a new perspective. |
