With Paper and Pen

With Paper and Pen

 

I put down my feelings

With paper and pen

Too scared and confused to speak

I wait for the moment

When all will be right

And my heart is not so weak

Don't you see it in my eyes? Can't you feel it in my touch?

Won't you see through my disguise? Am I asking too much?

 

I listen for hours

To family and friends

Who say I am much too unkind

But they couldn't know

They couldn't see

That it's all suppressed in my mind

Can't you feel it in my touch? Don't you see it in my eyes?

Am I asking too much? Won't you see through my disguise?

 

Sometimes I remember

I mostly forget

To tell people just how I feel

Mostly in anger

But sometimes in tears

The feelings begin to unreel

I wish you'd see it in my eyes I wish you'd feel it in my touch

I wish you'd see through my disguise Could I be asking too much?

 

I wish I could tell you

My innermost thoughts

That I put down with paper and pen

Until I can share them

And open my heart

I'll probably cry once again

Thank you for sharing with us such a personal moment. Nietzsche meant, motion and reason are not really opposites but complementary or commingled, so you open your heart because you like to make someone see and I have seen this in your poem. Platonic love is painful and nerve-racking.. wonderful write.

I can really relate to this... like most writers I think. It is easier to write how we feel then show it other ways. As always I enjoyed your words and wisdom.

wow asking people to see through you is difficult, most don't pay attention to themselves not alone someone else. Strong work you have here it gives a sense of being vulnerable if someone is willing to look beneath your skin and into your heart.

This was beautiful and sad. I love how you repeat your request of understanding. I think we are all in our own way searching for that same understanding.
