"The simplest way that i can understand therapy is that we're born a certain
way, we're taught to be something different, and we spend our whole lives
trying to unravel it and ultimately align ourselves with who we really are." ~Billy Corgan

I'm trying hard
to find the words to say.
To tell you exactly
how I feel.
But the words aren't
beautiful enough.
When I tell you that
I love you,
the words don't even compare
to what I feel inside.
The words will never come out
as perfect as you are.
I can't explain anything
with the words that I think of.
None of them seem to show
what I really feel.
Nothing verbal,
It's all caught inside,
unable to escape.
