Communication

when you hear my words

when you decipher their intention

i wonder what tools you use

i wonder what you will make of me

 

i hope your eyes see through the same lens

i hope your soul breeds like mine

that my intentions would scare you

that my intentions, in that way, hurt me

 

worried that my expression are never really mine

worried that once outwardly deciphered they become inwardly lost

though our language is the same our definitions never are

though my hopes remain the same your intentions never change
