When engaged in emotional talk
My brain will sometimes balk.
To get my feelings from heart to head
Is often harder than playing dead.
Just to understand how I feel
Is in itself often a big deal.
Then trying to express my inner thought
Is a battle that's hard fought.
If I come across as confusing
Trust that I don't think it's amusing.
Not getting to the point of the matter
Could portray me as a mad hatter.
The part of me that you can see
Is as obvious as can be.
It's when I tap into what's buried deep
That I can't make the emotional leap.
So trust and accept that this is true
Trying to express emotion leaves me feeling blue.
