Sometimes it isn't always clear,
What I mean to say.
I try to make you understand,
In a different sort of way.

Some things I don't know how to put,
Or what I'm all about.
I want to know what angers me,
But something else comes out.

I really want to join the game,
But no longer dare to play it.
I dearly want to share myself,
But don't know how to say it.

I know that I can face the truth
And not fear, if I'm rejected.
And yet, when the words comes out,
They're not what I expected.

When I improve and I can speak
Without that dreaded fear,
That all my words will tumble out
Before my brain's in gear…

Til then, it's hard to share the words
Of how I'm really feeling.
Maybe it will change with time,
When I am finished "healing".
