"Am I to word all my feelings out?
Make them into these subtle,
Incomplete sentences?
Am I to always squeeze them in,
Plunder their being from a world
Within
Only to place them amongst commas
And frail parentheses?
Am I to always mutate them, coerce them, spit them
Out, and curse them only for them to become
A form of what is called syntax?"
When one is to deeply think about language, one is to (most probably) find it very perplexing. I have recently been thinking about language A LOT! The thought of it actually gives me a headache more than it gives me anything else. I think about how when we are to express ourselves, we are to express them only through the number of words and expressions we know. Then, I begin to ask myself some questions like:
- What if expressing our feelings and thoughts requires more than these words?
- What if our knowledge of these words only limits our ways of expression?
- What if my understanding of certain words differs, to a significant extent, from your understanding of them?
Jot down what first pops up into your mind. All this rambling certifies that I have been doing that! hah^^
