von Sabine Holztröger
it's my turn to speak
words are forming in my head
I put them together
again and again
do not want them to sound bad
I want to express myself
need to be understood
the fear of failing at both
makes me say more than I should
some words I can keep
and some I can turn
that my mind wandered in those first lines
is what I still need to learn
don't take me at my word
take me by my mind
words are just reactions
my thoughts are always kind
those words carry old stories
those feelings are nothing new
when I listen closely I am sure
the next words are just for you
