Who I Sound Like
Helena Deland
Fear that I am frozen here
I lay down and close my eyes
If I were to open, clear
See you standing in the light
It wouldn’t matter who I’d sound like
Whether or not I knew what to say
Whether I could ask for what I need
I just want to talk to you today
Here I’m welcome
Here I am new
With my questions
Learning through
Still and bright blue days
Smudging the nights
I think I’ll stay
Paint the walls white
Colors dance behind my eyelids
Trips you said that you would like to take
Not vacations, something different
Your life didn’t givе you many breaks
Wouldn’t matter who I sound like
Whеther or not I know what to say
Whether I can ask for what I need
I just want to talk to you
I just want to talk to you
I just want to talk to you today
