All the Things I Want To Say
Sew your mouth shut they said
Don’t let anyone know what’s inside your head
Just clench your fists
And zip your lips
And picture what horror the outcome would send
No. It’s my turn now
You need to to open your eyes and realize
That what I say is meaningful
And can turn little caterpillars into beautiful butterflies
I can make make you smile again truly
And I can make you really see
And all you need is to do is one thing just simply
Look. Look into my eyes
In their beauty like pools so deep and wide
Full of life like flourishing fireflies
Look, and maybe then you’ll see
The real me
