Between the Lines

When I try to speek my mind

Or put my thoughts to words

It never comes out clear

My point is never heard



My friends don't seem to get

What's going through my mind

So I open up this book

And write between the lines



When somethings going on

And I need to let it out

Talking doesn't help

And it doesn't help to shout



I sit down in a chair

And start spinning rhymes

And my confuseion exits there

Stuck between the lines



When a fact that I know

Is one I'd rather keep

But it bugs me to the point

Where I can't even sleep



I open up the pages

That only I can find

What comes up there stays there

Living only between the lines

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this one in December of 2000, which would put it in my freshman year of high school.  I wrote this because i still felt no one knew me very well and I wrote this to express my feelings.  I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as i enjoyed writing it.
