Speak your mind they say
Tell me what you mean
Sometimes it isn’t that easy
Sometimes we find it difficult just to say one word
I wish I could say everything
I wish I could show everyone just how difficult it is to speak
My mind is my own enemy
Making things hard to understand
Making it cloudy and hard to see
There are so many things I wish I could say
But so many things prevent me from it
Being scared, being discouraged, being muted, being unsure, being underestimated, being me
It’s a terrible feeling not being able to get across what you want to say
And when you try to only a few things are muttered
And then people don’t see the whole picture
They just see lines on a piece of paper
Not the full colored complicated abstract image
I don’t even understand half of the things that run through my head
I don’t have enough time to because has soon has there here there gone
So know when you tell me to speak and say what’s on my mind
I’ll say I cant because you just wouldn’t understand now would you.
