How do I express myself so that you can hear me?


How do I contain myself so that you don't fear me?


How do I let you in on how I truly feel?


How can I show that my emotions are very real?


How do describe feeling burdened and alone?


Trapped in a whirlwind with no place to call home?


Do I show you how I feel or do I let it go?

I walk away for one more day my feelings go unknown.


Living with A.D.D I really struggle with expressing myself to other people. I will know EXACTLY what I want to say and I can't find the words. I come to the point of crying and aching and even physically reaching out into the air so I can try to find the words to express myself. Yet despite being extremely literate and having a vast knowledge of the english language I can't seem to find a single string of words to share my expressions with the world.  I end up walking away from the conversation feeling oppressed and down trodden because I was unable to fully express myself but there was no better option then to walk away in the moment.
But I have been told I am a great listener.
Maybe because I know how frustrating it can be when you can't find a way for people to listen to you. Even if I had someone to tell, I wouldn't be able to string the right words together to describe how I feel. So what is the point of speaking my mind when my mind won't work enough to speak.
