My Problem With Words
thoughts run wild.
left to right.
up and down.
out the side.
through the back.
problem is, thoughts are silent.
not heard.
not felt.
like a door never opened.
a fence never jumped.
a story never told.
words.
words would be the answer.
simple.
but words are just words.
formulated jumble that comes out.
misunderstood.
i found that words do not express thoughts very well.
you build them up.
or you break them down.
once you say something.
something you've thought and felt for a long time.
once you say it.
it loses its magic.
it loses its power.
it's almost distorted.
foolish.
banal.
a feeling of ridicule.
silence.
now that. that. is fulfilling.
appeasing.
making your own melody.
developing your own story.
jumping your own fence.
opening your own door.
making your own understanding.
silence.
greater than words.
thoughts.
greater than words.
silence and thoughts.
hand in hand.
eyes darkening or lightened.
lips curled up or frowning.
those are greater than words.
so when i sit in silence.
when i say no words.
know.
that my thoughts are infinite.
unexplained. but plentiful.
avec amour,
athina.
"The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of because words diminish your feelings - words shrink things that seem timeless when they are in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out."-Stephen King
