My world is sometimes a confusing place How do you slow the thoughts when they Suffocate the thoughts from reaching your mouth I want to say all the things I feel but they Cannot be put into thoughts, twists of the mind Who is the one behind the whirlwind that rages Through my mind, I don’t recognize this girl She is quiet, a mute ghost of the real me How can I know the real me? I am a patchwork of women The hurt ones, the broke, the happy, the mix of me That cannot be explained by words Language is never enough for me How many must I learn to describe the way I feel After a glass of wine, I text him To miss someone, an impossible task Will someone slow the world so I can think People become one into the grasp A tipped can of moments that I cannot tell you So many memories that can’t be remembered Teach me the words
