Feelings, Fantasies, and Other Thoughts on Life

Hidden Layer

I sit here and think about what I could say

I know what I want to spill out of my lips

But that would be a little too harsh

Wouldn't it?

Trust me, it would be.

If I were brutally honest to you,

You might become to upset to do anything

Quite frankly.

If I were too true to life with my words,

I might be taken in for questioning

Because who really says everything that's on their mind?

People omit things when they speak out loud

About an event, about their feelings

Nothing that ever passes someone's mouth

Is ever that real.

There's always another hidden layer.

So I'll leave it at this:

I'm done.
