In conversations with myself
I can see things so clearly in my head
then try to look you in the eye.

I attempt to speak plainly
the words a jumble
emotion entangles thought trips me up.

I cannot explain myself
I cannot clarify the truth for you
I could speak my mind but it’s a challenge.

I do not want a duel
I do not want a fight
still I seem to make you angry.

Sitting alone
on the front porch
it is all so clear to me.
