Spider Words.

If I had a choice to speak to you face to face, this is how it would go: I'd freeze up, and remain my mute self.

So much to say with so little time!

My head is swelling to explode!

My heart is beating a thousand times faster than it would if I was panicing!!

Spiders crawl out of the cobweb that is my vocal chords

And I open my mouth to speak.

Eight eyes peering at you in utter loss.

Eight eyes peering at you for understanding

And even escape from reality.

I know I am hurting and I know I am over reacting!

But I'll be fine if I can get these spider words out

And let them bite into you.

Not for pain.

For acknoledgement and the want to know.

Time is gone now.

The spiders crawl back in,

And they never laid a mark on you.

sums up how i feel half the time when i try to say something but i end up worrying on how it will come out and if people will understand in the same way i do.
Really love this poem :) seems much easier to write it down than to say it. love the title to it :)

One of the hardest things is to say what needs to be said in the heat of the moment. How often we clam up and say nothing, for fear that the meaning will not be taken the way we intend. Yet, sometimes we just have to cut loose and let it out and let fate take it's course. Either way, it's never a pleasant moment for anyone along the fence.

Your words tell the tale of a thousand what ifs and bring us all to think about what we feel and what we say.
Great Ink!

Looks like it's easier to write your feeling than say your words. Good read. Let's me know you better.
