Most poems use complex words
To exaggerate some meaning
But I tend to use simple terms
To convey a deeper feeling.

Sure, there's life,
Sure, there's love,
So why use being, or even affection?
When you could use simple words
To convey a deeper feeling.

All these punny metaphors,
Do they really make a difference?
Why can't I just blurt out what I mean?
Sometimes we need simpler words
To convey a deeper feeling.

Falling, falling
Can't stay up
I feel done,
Yet I'm still here.

Want to speak,
Want to speak,
Speak my language,
But no one else would hear.

When I feel drowned,
Hopeless in silence,
What else do I need?
When I have my voice,
The voice no one hears.

Falling, Falling
Flying, flying.
I know they're taken
But somewhy, I'm still trying.
Shouting "I love you,"
With a voice that no one hears.

Strain your ears,
Try to listen,
But it's really no use.
I don't really have a choice,
I'm just someone no one hears.

Falling, falling,
Exaggerate my feelings,
I keep on writing simply
When nobody's really listening.
