Words on a page mean nothing.
Not unless they can dance.
Dance in your head like two lovers
Who’s happiness shines in a trance.
Forever more, I do not know
What workings of my mind
Cause me to feel such pain
And cause the slow of time.
Unreasonable phrases dance in my head
Making me confused and mad.
Almost everyday I have to ask
Am I really who I am?
But I won’t let my light
Flicker out without a fight.
If only I could muster up the courage to be true
To not only my self, but also you.
What’s there to know?
Except what you were taught.
“That’s what’s right
All else is not.
Because I taught you that my dear
It must be true.”
That’s what you’d say because it’s you.
How can I know I’m where I should be.
This thing that calls out to me
Sings it’s wondrous melody.
Let me rest while you play that song
And know that I can do no wrong.
Because these words that I’ve written down
Mean nothing unless you can hear that sound.
