I say the wrong thing

I say the wrong thing

I truly appreciate the words, but there are never enough.

There are never enough words; there are never enough.

My body aches for understanding,

But I have no knowledge of so much stuff.

You get what you give out, so I deserve nothing less.

You get what you put into it,

So take what you need to find from inside my head.

You do things you like, but I won’t do that.

I would give you my opinion, if I could only take it back.

If I read what you write and it is something I like,

You might find something in my words,

That just does not sound right.

I have no foresight, just a vague idea.

I am just a fool, so misunderstood, so never too clear.

I can write, but I cannot speak.

I know you hear, but my intentions you cannot see.

Every screaming piece of me, is only shouting out for peace!

I cannot meet your expectations,

Nor can I quote the Romantics.

I cannot know just what you want from me;

I can only give you, all of this.

Every single part of me, I throw this down at your feet

And all I ask is that you please understand that I come in peace.
