“Ascertain the truth”

Why say things you don’t mean? 

Just because you feel you don’t mean anything 

To the people you once meant something to.

Why say things you don’t mean?

Just to bruise the ones

That hold a special place in your heart?

The spark of the rumbling of war.

Why say things you don’t mean? 

To the people who mean everything 

To this small place in your heart.

How could you?

Why say things you don’t mean?

Just to say anything 

For the sake of saying something 

Rather than saying nothing.

What do you mean?

Why say things you don’t mean?

To yourself.

Afraid you’ll never be better 

Writing off the ending of your story.

Why would you do that? 

Why say things you don’t mean? 

When you could speak your truth 

Afraid there’s no one listening 

But there’s always someone listening to you.

Me.

So I sing 

I sing 

I sigh

Sighs of relief 

This is me.

This is she. 

Swimming to shore

Though unsure

Of what life’s to bring 

Understanding the meaning of things
