It's Hard to Explain

April 19, 2024

My mind storms like a cyclone

About the thoughts unknown

I have a hard time sharing

Because people lost the ability of caring

Unless your someone important to me

But even then it seems

Like there thoughts seem to flee

Like there somewhere off in distant dreams

And here I am sitting with the thoughts in my head

With words still left unsaid


I was once told I had a weird smile 

So unless I’m with people important

I lay dormant

Because the world can seem hostile

People wonder why I have a dull expression

But they don’t know that sometime after I was ten

I found it hard to show passion

Because emotions weren’t for men

These are the words I heard

Like the squawking of a bird

And I took those words to heart 

Because something in side was torn apart


However lately

I’ve been thinking daily

That the world can be divided into two categories

The things that matter and the things that don’t

Take that advice as an allegory

But even if you won’t

I did

From a character named Cid

He pulled off quite the performance

But in his act 

He taught me self importance

The impact 

Brought shatter

To an unseen domain

Showing that I matter

It’s hard to explain
