my words remain tarnished until spoken aloud
do not trust the words i send between screens
or the notes scribbled signed to you
consider these messages undistinguished between truths and lies
there is absolutely no such way
that i could perfect the energy of these words spoken over text
just because i won first prize in my fourth grade spelling bee
does not mean my syntax will be pure
i cannot argue by typing words, it is actually very self centered
i need them to see the pain and anger in my expressions
i must look them in the eyes to know that i’m reaching them,
and i am not just another annoying notification
writing will never quite convey the same language
as connecting with someone face to face
i am a real human being, speak to me like one
i’m an exclusively honest person, but you shouldn’t believe this
