liar

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
