Thoughts
I talk about breadth too much
The way two syllables touch
And how I rush my thoughts or mush my
Feelings into corners of my mind
Heck, I talk about this mind of mine
Like I'm been reading between my own lines
Like others know my language isn't straight from my mouth but
This bank of thoughts trickling down, down until
I spit out something out
Stupid
Hell, I talk too much
Because I have this river flowing and
Whether she goes fast or slow she
Reflects my opinions of the light
Bouncing off the people around me
Articifical bulbs over their heads and I
Give her gates to spill out complaints and I
Flood the whole town
Till the water goes down, down, and
Seeps into the ground
Makes my mark but
When I wanted things to grow?
I thought they would know these
thoughts of mine
When I renewed the status quo
I assumed they would just
Ride with the flow of reason but
Now I'm sinking in my big ol' mouth
I had too much to say
I look in too much
Thinkin' I'm such an easy person to understand when
They wouldn't know me anyway.
