How I Feel

Conversation fails me
Face to face I don’t have enough to say
But give me pen and paper
And it all falls out. 

The “how could you”’s
The beautiful allegory
Expressions of my heart 
Self expressions 
The solid truth of my story
Why I’m hear for a start 

Put me in a room with you and words fail me
I can better say with this barrier
It doesn’t change how I feel, for you
I put my best foot forward so you can see
So now let these truths be forever more 
It doesn’t change how I feel, for you

I look at you and smile
If you knew the thunderstorm in my head
So give me pen and paper
To work it all out 

Insecurities 
They’re all tied to my fantasies
Everything out of reach
Insecurities 
All these missed opportunities 
A lesson the universe has yet left to teach 

It’s just verbiage uttered by a simple man
Yet my mouth cannot move to do the deed
So do you know how I feel, for you 
No matter how you feel this how I am 
I asking take my hand and take the lead
So do you know how I feel l, for you

Early days, missed opportunities 
The regret of that first kiss 
Mistakes, all the things we could change 
Is it too late to remiss 

Put me in a room with you and words fail me
I can better say with this barrier
It doesn’t change how I feel, for you
I put my best foot forward so you can see
So now let these truths be forever more 
It doesn’t change how I feel, for you
It’s just verbiage uttered by a simple man
Yet my mouth cannot move to do the deed
So do you know how I feel, for you 
No matter how you feel this how I am 
I asking take my hand and take the lead
So do you know how I feel l, for you
