Words are all I have,
And sometimes not even those.
There are no words to describe,
How I’m feeling right now do you know?
Some say a picture is worth a thousand words,
But only if someone knows what to portray.
I’m lost within myself, you see,
I’ve fallen under my own shadow today.
I created the world I inhabit,
And forgotten the escape route.
I’m locked within my mind,
I’m tortured by my mistakes, absolute.
Though I feel so far away,
I know what’s really going on.
But I can’t paint nor know a thousand words,
To show you my pain, my anguish, as strong.
My tears don’t shine with hate,
Nor do my eyes glisten in agony.
My heart doesn’t bleed though it is broken,
Overwhelming is this silent tragedy.
I can’t move you with my voice,
I can’t warm your heart with love.
I can’t make you feel what you won’t understand,
Despite the tales of old and above.
I can’t teach what was never taught to me,
And if I could do all those things, would I be free?
A burden I’d never be,
For the weight I carry on my back was meant for none to see.
