I've written you so many
words in my mind
Some of them harsh
and some more kind

I've printed on my heart
all the things I would say
But ripped them to shreds
the very next day

It would seem I compared
all the wrong things
The contrast of sounds
the way the bird sings

I left out the best parts
and how it made me feel
Locked it all up
and made it unreal

Because emotions are void
in a world so molded
Like every sheet in the house
must be perfectly folded

But I cannot conform
and neither will my words
They open your mind
so they must be heard

They will never be loud enough
not on their own
But them I endorse
and them I condone

These actions you speak of
louder than words
Funny your steps
are never even heard

As you walk to and fro
inside of my house
Creating the chaos
like elephant and mouse

I refuse to play
these games any longer
You say I am losing
but I feel so much stronger

So letters it is.
all strung together
Let's make some words
and then make them better

Think in our minds
how to change the world
Like a flag sewn
like a flag unfurled
