All I Can Say and All That I Cannot Say
I have a lot of things to say
But all the words I attempt are useless
In my struggle with what is today
I can’t help but be left speechless
It’s safe to say that I am afraid
That what I can say won’t be understood anyway
It’s not the fear of being betrayed
Rather it’s fear itself that has lead me astray
However I will no longer simply obey
When all I know and see is in complete disarray
Do not misunderstand me
All I want and wish is to be free
In my search I was able to see a lot of things
Such things that were once hidden
At first glance it all looks ugly but don’t let it be forgotten that there is beauty to be found if only you could see it
Sometimes the truth stings
But don’t let it be forbidden
It’s the closest you’ll get to wisdom
All that said at times I do feel like I’m going to overflow
Like somehow what I am and what I know
Even what I can give has to be suppressed
How can you blame me for being depressed
So as loneliness confines
I find it helpful to rhyme
I’m no longer looking to be understood
I only hope that you’re able to read between the lines
I don’t have high hopes
I was raised in the same world as you
Although, you should know that everything entwines
And that we’re slowly falling down the steepest slopes
If only you knew what was actually true
If you let me I could give you a clue
It’s not all it seems
Not that you’ll believe me
The more I learn the more I see the more I realize this world just isn’t quite for me
Not that I can leave
I have a mission you see
To set the whole world free
And show you that everything interweaves
The only purpose is to love
Everyone
Not just the one
Everything
So let me give you a shove
And show you that we are all just one
But you see my work has just begun
It’s a scary thing
Opening your heart and mind
To a world that is especially unkind
So I’m stuck
Between the love and hate
The good and bad
The wants and needs
Striving to save a world that I’m not even sure wants to be saved
But I’m never out of luck
I just need a way to translate
What makes me sad and mad
All our misdeeds
We are all enslaved leaving this world horribly engraved
There are things happening behind the curtains
Things we cannot see
Hidden from our sight
And though at times I’m not always certain
There is one thing I can guarantee
I will not go down without a fight
And so that is why I now write
To give to you the light
I have a lot of things to say
Although it may cause a lot of disarray
If you’ll lend me your ear to listen
You may just learn a lesson
However it is all up to you what it is that you will do
All I can do is give you a spark
And help you see it through
So we may leave our mark and escape this endless dark
