There’s effort in your exhale.
It intensely speaks for you,
as if you cannot express in words
what it is you feel.
It’s shameful. It’s childish.
its wasted energy.
The effort behind the steam released
coming from your lungs
is as energetic as the words
that are tumbling around inside of you.
Why would you choose to confuse
through passive expression?
when the same amount of energy
would clear the skies like
a heavy summer rain.

If it is all energy created from within
and you are shameful for
the words your vessel contains,
could you not alter
the shape of and direction
to better influence the emotions exchanged?
