Two Turns - Dealership

An armor of self-assured esteem

Impervious to things that aren’t

Logical and true

Like one and one is two

I try to pierce it open to talk to you

But I don’t have much to say

Two turns of the

Twist ties on my

Loud mouth and I’m

Persuaded to hide

And understate…

Ignore the bait

You might decline

And I’d fall on my face

You laugh at my resistance to your pleas

Keep telling me that words don’t always

Bounce when rubber’s glue

And when one and one ain’t two

You’ve told me all your problems

Now solve them too

'Cause you’re better at this game

I’m trying to tell you how I feel but

You know it’s hard to say

So maybe I’ll just play and

You’ll listen and recognize the tune

'Cause I sang it in your ear

It’s sappy but sincere

And true

I told you that I was so mature

You laughed then and you’ll laugh even

More when you see me

As I stutter, fumbling

Over words

Overused

Understood

Misconstrued

Please give me lines to say…

Well would you?
