Spin

Wondering which way is up, Which way is in

  Please understand, because thats what I really want

  Stumbling and stuttering on my every thought
 

 

A single sentence violenty spinning in my head

Twisting the possiblilities and concerns around desperation and efficiency

Failing to convey enough importance with every syllable
 

 

  To tell someone everything would be a gentle sigh of relief, allowing the comfort of hope

  If only I could find a clear beginning and a point to leap from

  I would be an emphatic jumper if You are willing to grip the rope
 

 

Lying perfectly still while my words finally tumble

  and slip on my tongue

 but come to an agonizing stop at my lips

I can't open my eyes because these windows need blinds

or maybe the curtains have always been drawn

but something is obvious when I look another human being dead on

I am a broken record with an empty head

who wants to tell you every truth

but settles for a smile instead

this is gorgeous
i couldn't tell you which lines are my favorite
because to pick this apart and say which is my favorite is demeaning to the beauty of your words

i really like this. a lot.
especially the end,

"I am a broken record with an empty head

who wants to tell you every truth

but settles for a smile instead"

i kinda connect with the confusion and frustration.
nice job sis =]
