understanding 

One wrong word

One wrong statement 

and now i feel like hanging on every word 

Not so much in wait

But in holding back

I wonder if i should keep my thoughts to myself again 

To edit every word coming from my mind to my fingers or my mouth 

I wonder if i should just keep my mouth shut most days 

No one seems to want to know what i'm saying 

Or care what im saying for that matter 

It's always in one ear and out the other 

I guess some people think that of me. 

But i listen, even though it may not seem like it 

I may keep music in my ears all the time 

I may seem like i don’t care to understand 

Or just don’t understand at all 

But I do. 

I show it in small ways because in the moments that make the difference, 

I’m no good with words. 

I don’t know how to make people understand.
