Everytime I Want To Speak




Everytime I want to speak
you put your words there instead.
My words never find their way
I wish I could, for once, say what I want to say.
How do you know what's in my head?

If you would... Let me speak.
Let me speak for myself.
You never know, but what you say
might just mean something else.

I'd like to speak, and when I do
I'd like for my words to say what I want them to.
I don't need your improv, or your ad lib,
Things you say, I say, are so glib.

You never know you just might be wrong
but you've been doing this for so long
It's almost as if I don't know what I am saying
Because on my words you are always playing.

Get your own act, and I know you already possess that
But quit pulling my words out of your imaginery hat.
You take my words, do your magic presto-chango
I can speak for myself, and what you are doing is really lame-o.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Terri, this is a frustrating feeling I know ever too well, dearest friend, my heart sends many angel hugs your way and know soon enough when you're gone and he has no words to draw from you, he'll bite his own tongue and then he'll look ridiculous as his speech numbens in his own loss! (sad sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, I send angel hugs your way, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Terri, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

That's the truth!! Some people think that they know everything...even someone elses thoughts before they even speak them.
God bless you, my friend.

Thanks to all of you...

Noah...Well I don't think I matter enough for that, but thanks for the comment.

Ethel--it does seem that way sometimes, and it's not fair to not be able to speak your own words without someone intercepting your words, and giving them a different meaning.

passing shadow...hehe..thanks girl.

Magnus-Thank you for the read, and comment.
Love,
Terri~

Sometimes I think I started writing just so I could speak my mind uninterrupted.

You speak for yourself quite eloquently here, and lo and behold, you speak for many others while doing so!

Thank you so much Serenity. I think most anyone appreciates when they speak it's not twisted for purposes to harm. I don't think anyone appreciates when their words are twisted and come out to mean something that wasn't meant by them at all. Thank you for the read and comment.
Love,
Terri~
