I can't shake it--think I've been
Lost in translation.
Words aren't enough right now
Maybe they never were.
I go and try to put it down--to speak out loud--
Something's being left out.
All this rephrasing
It is so caging
That's not what I meant
You're getting in my head
I can't speak.
Stumbling over my words
Can't think.
And then they don't understand--
and that hurts
This can't be it--that's not it
The words--the terms--nothing fits.
It makes more sense when I'm silent.
