I Write

I write and write and type and write 

To get the thoughts out of my head 
They always sound better when read 

Because when I speak them aloud 
They tumble onto the ground 

Becoming nothing more 
Than a jumbled mess on the floor 

Incomprehensible sounds strung together 
Like the rustling of leaves in November 

Once on the paper or screen 
I can rearrange and fix what they mean 

Until you can see their understanding 
More than that, know all of their feeling
