Communication is difficult

How I feel about my difficulty in talking to others

I walk on eggshells now
It does not matter what I say
I am misunderstood
Communication is difficult

Why do people misunderstand?
Maybe it’s my fault
I am dyslexic
Communication is difficult

When I say one thing
People hear another
Why does this happen?
Communication is difficult

All my life I’ve walked a lonely path
Don’t want to annoy people
Don’t want to cause them trouble
Communication is difficult

There are too many landmines on other paths
Can’t dodge them anymore
They blow up and cause great pain
Communication is difficult

I am back on my lonely path
It is where I feel safe
There are no more landmines
Communication is difficult

Do I think too much?
I don’t think so
This has happened all my life
Communication is difficult

I am not angry
It is the way things are
I have tried
Communication is difficult

I am happy now
I talk to myself
No more misunderstandings
Communication is too difficult
