If I only could

If I only could, I would say something profound...
it would make your heart start to stutter, make you better with its sound.
If I only could, I would tell you how I feel...
but part of me believes I would say it wrong and it would not seem real.
If I only could, I would give you a piece of me...
but lately I am still looking for the part that I can be.
If I only could, I would succumb to all of your thoughts...
because mine are very broken, and what remains is less than what I have lost.

I am still trying to understand this world,
I do not think that it was made for such a lost girl.
I hope that you can see me, and I pray that I don't fade...
into the unsolved problems that remain from yesterday.
If you know how to live please help me to understand,
because I can not get past the part where I figure out who I am.
If I do not know myself, how can I know you?
If I can express how I feel, how I am supposed to make it through?

With thoughts running wild, a heart that feels unsure...
of what it needs to beat, or even what it is looking for.
When the world takes its toll, what can I pay?
When I have not a single reason to validate why I should stay.
Without reasons for existing, I see my chances come and go...
while I try to figure out something that they already know.

I love this poem it is one of someone confused and seeking help having felt that way too for so long I can relate to it. I also felt as if this poem was like someone held back by their on insecurities which I also can relate. If I only could, I would tell you how I feel...
but part of me believes I would say it wrong and it would not seem real. this is my favorite part

Not only can you sing with notes, but you can sing with with words like an angel with the glowing light of God. This really feels my heart and soul and lifts me up.

I kind of feel like this lately, about not knowing what I want anymore. As always, your work impresses me on every level.
