why is it that i can identify more with Ys and Xs
than with written words
is it the fact that they are right there
and the words come from somewhere else

Is it that Xs and Ys i can always count on
they are always in the question
just hidden behind some ones and twos
and always come out when the formulas look for them

But with words, they don’t come as easily
they have to come from within
i don’t think there's much within me
i feel empty looking for words

I can’t rely on them, not really
when i need words the most
they hide, but not behind ones and twos
they hide behind my feelings

feelings i dont have formulas for
feelings i haven't quite figured out
and when i call the words out, it's not them that come
are the complicated, suppressed emotions, the ones i need less

right in the spot, feeling to much
thats where words leave me
i guess i'll stick with Xs and Ys
they don’t require feelings
