Speak Now Or Forever Hold Your Peace

Ever Felt Like No One Understands?

Just give me a minute before I explain

Days are becoming blurry, I'm hoping you understand

The thought of how one choice could alter everything..

I am going to need more than a minute, sorry

I understand why people do not share how they feel

When I hear myself out loud, it becomes harder to deal

When I am ready to explain, that minute might have passed and turned into forever

Who knows, maybe never explaining my side would be for the better

But if you find yourself reading over my scrambled thoughts,

I pray one day, it will not seem like just an unfinished letter

sad poetry
