Writing is how I Speak, by TigerLily Subscribe to rss feed for TigerLily

my friends
my family
they never understand how i feel when i speak
sometimes they never even listen
i have to use harsh words to make them listen
then...

they get mad angry even
all because i wanted to speak
i draw it out
expressing how i feel
in a little picture
hoping it will make
everything better
but...

sometimes they still dont understand
so i write it all down
in a little letter
and then we're all happy again

writing is how i speak 
how about you...

Writing is the only way I can speak too. And I know exactly what you mean with the reactions of your family because mine are the same, but it really is the ONLY way for me to get through to people. I love this work.
