How to fit in all my truth?
So much to say, how can I choose?

I could share how this light came through
But not with your empty 'How are you?'

So we smile. You share some news
We stared at the stem, forgot about the roots
We stared at the stem, I'm guilty too

Not much to say, so much to lose
How can I say I hurt too?

Someone asked me what's my truth
I leaned in to speak, but I spoke too soon

Then someone asked me what I need
I had a new pen, but I couldn't make it bleed

Won't you show me how to calm my mind?
I can't fill your well, only mine

Not much to say, so much to lose
How can I say I hurt too?
