Silence please

Now don’t get me wrong,
I meant well,
Well, I think that’s what I meant,
Know what I mean?
You see, I did do my best,
I really did,
But words got in the way,
I thought, ‘that’s a good idea’
But the words didn’t match,
Didn’t reach the parts that thoughts can go,
So my thoughts went down a hole,
A hole that never fills,
A hole full of truth that words can’t fix,
I get excited and write a line, or two,
But reading it reflects a shadow,
Misses the point,
Wrong end of the stick,
No no, you get me wrong,
Frustrating,
But yes, it is my fault,
My inability to convey a meaning in words,
The right words in the write order,
So you do get me wrong,
You have no idea what I really meant,
You can’t know what I mean,
But I did do my best,
Responding to this script will prove my point,
And that will sting,
And I don’t want that,
Let me think I’m better than I am,
Let me face the fact,
My script falls short,
Falls into the bottomless hole,
So no comments = a big thumbs up,
Silence is golden.
