Discover what lies within

Words leave me jumbled

At certain times

When I try to speak my mind

They sound so perfect in my head

Bouncing off the walls

Of my cranium

Inside, they sound divine, sublime

And when I'm calm, composed

When I feel just right

The words may tumble out

Like they're supposed to

If not exact, at least similar

But how often is it

That I'm completely in control

Not as often, as I'd like

Instead I'm a warehouse of emotions

One dormant, asleep

The other awake, wreaking havoc

Anger, misery

Enthusiasm, pure energy

Leave my words tangled

When they try to surface

I can salvage what comes out

Make it seem prettier than it seems

Hell, we're all masters of this craft

But only I know

How it's supposed

To be, how my words are those of true beauty

And only you know

How your thoughts

Mismatch what you speak

Wouldn't you rather let the world know

The colorful truth that lies within

Your unique, unfathomable soul?

I decided that I wanted

To let it out, the way I see it in my head

I thrust my words left unspoken

Onto a pen, a paper, a keyboard, a laptop

Into written medium, whatever the medium

And I discovered

That the beauty which lay before me, once I was finished

Was far better than what was once trapped in my head

Far, far better, stronger, wiser

Now wouldn't you like to see

What you're truly made of?

Wouldn't you like to let,

The world in on your elegance too?

If not for the rest of us,

Write for yourself

Believe me, once I started

I just couldn't stop
