"dexter"

Gently he walks in tall 
silently, you know he wants to talk 
deeply as soon as his thoughts are nursed 
swiftly he then starts to converse unlike before 
sincerely through his words he's been through a lot 
that's the reason behind him sharing his thoughts, words, experience & all 
gradually he's confessing his thoughts of his past journeys like a speech to us 
wishing he could bring back his world and rectify his norms 


Battling within trying to choose which words and experiences that will come first 
you can see he's trying to prevent and hold back his tears from running off 
his mistakes he doesn't want it recur 
and as he begins to reform, he starts feeling speechless- lost for words 
sits back and from his reaction looks like he's done 
looking into his eyes there's still more 
he finally recognizes words cannot express it all 
gradually he retracts back into his world 


Takes a sigh of relief and off he's gone.
