I wonder if they mean anything,

All those words I whispered,

To blank walls and stale air.

And I wonder, If the words my pen bleeds out,

Ever really touch your soul.

If your admiring eyes and encouragements,

Are really for me, or gritted out, in name of polite decrees.

I know you'll never see,

What my words hold, the scars in my soul.

But still, I write, bleeding out,

Wishing you'd see, 

What's hiding between them, 

Crying out from behind them, 

But knowing you won't.

Because these words can never tell you,

What I really want you to know.
