Stuck
I'm thinking about self worth
my childhood and last nights
dreams in blackness
I'm thinking of perception
of yours
and my own
I've got a sore face
my ears hurt
my mouth doesn't wish to move
I'm thinking the words
but you won't hear them
even if I speak them
I am bright in my eyes
committed
sorrowful and hopeful
I'm knowing how expectations
go
and go
