A Message

How do I make a sound worth the breath?

One that may leave my mouth with purpose

And so now, how do I make you understand through words?

Something that never truly could be heard

How do I make it so my voice may grow arms to hold?

A message to reach your ears with purpose

And so now, how do I make you understand through words?

Something that never truly could be heard?

Be heard

Be heard

How do I turn my tongue into a brush?

One I could use to paint a portrait of my fear and love

I'd color it red with blood, then dry my lips and wash my lungs

Then finally show you some piece of me
