Underneath The Oak Tree
I Always Grow As A Poet
But Never Grow Out Of Poetry
This Notebook I just Cant
Find My Way Out Of
"Theyre Called Thoughts For A Reason"
Was What You Always Said To Me
"Stop Wasting Time Scribbling"..
So I Spent My Days Hiding
Underneath The Oak Tree
Writing Of Nothing
And Everything I Couldnt Comprehend
Like If Everytime You Raised Your Fist
Did It Make You Feel Like A Man?
Or How Everytime I Catch Some One Lying
I Can Only Wonder Why The Truth Is So Hard To Speak
I Write Until My Hand Cramps
Until My Back Is Numb With Pain
And In These Hours Of Writing
Ive Learned That I Often Think To Much
And Never Say Enough.
Maybe If I Spoke More
Instead Of Spending Days
Hiding Underneath The Oak Tree
Then People Might Understand Me
Maybe If I Could Express My Emotions
Instead Of Hiding Between Ink And Lines
Maybe Then Brian Would Have Had The Time
To Understand Why Am Different
And Why My Smile Never Reaches My Eyes
Maybe He Could Of Loved
The Girl Behind The Disguise
Maybe Just Maybe He Could Have Cared More
If I Read Him All The Letters
Ive Written And Torn..
And Maybe Just Maybe
If I Didnt Spend My Days Hiding
Underneath This Imaginary Oak Tree
Then Maybe, Just Maybe
I Could Understand ME.
But Never Grow Out Of Poetry
