I hind behind the words
Put into my mouth
Never speaking what I think
I understand what is said
But I never know why
It is said in the first place
I only see that you listen
So carefully to every syllable
Every phrase
I hid behind these I speak
In hopes to never be heard
I push away
When all I really want
Is to be seen by all
My words are so
Much sweeter to the taste
So much softer to hear
There like silk to feel
But most of all
They come from me
And not you
They are my words
For me to speak
For all to hear

very nice and i like the reverse pyramid style you arranged it in, you can really feel the disconnection and longing in the voice of the writer. There are a few spelling issues but nothing terribly off-setting to the tone. Good luck and thanks for sharing!
