It almost offends me
when people say
that they're able to release
their innermost thoughts
whenever they write a poem song.

Can we honestly delve
into the depths of our hearts
with a bit of ink
or typed-up words?

Do our thoughts sound the same
when they've been released
from their cave,
their home?

Can we really portray
how we're feeling inside
just by releasing contorted words
or a twisted phrase?

Our thoughts will always remain enigmatic
because maybe they're not meant to be heard
by people who can't express
how they're truly feeling inside.
