Talk

I tried looking for words to describe these

But I can’t seem to find any

Talking is somewhat of a barrier

I’m so lost and I don’t know what to do to bring a smile in your face

You find comfort in the world outside

For that l’m sorry

Look at me!

I’m hopeless, broken down are my defences

Talk is hard

Talk is painful

I don’t know what to do!

Tears flow unstopped

The river Jordan is nothing to what I’m going through

I’m emotional every time I’m alone

Thinking back about everything

I act all stupid,

Do everything childish

Yet l finds no joy in what l do

I meant every word l say to you

I’m in it for the long run

My shoes are not that fast

In fact they are rather slow

You five steps ahead of me

And l’ m running as fast as l could

But l can’t seem to reach you

Talk is impossible

But l m trying

I don’t know what goes through that head of yours sometimes

But I’m willing to listen just try me

Scream, shout

Do it all

I will stick around till the end

Talk is gold

It solves all issues

We might not see eye to eye

But talk bridge the gap

Let’s talk and not hide out

Speak your mind and l will do the same

Talk!

Talk!

Talk!
