Say What?

What I wanted to say.

What I thought I said.

And what actually came out of my mouth

 do not always sound the same in your ears.

Even the most carefully chosen words have a way 

of being misinterpreted and misunderstood. 

~~~

The gift of silence is not one that I own

but one that I am always in search of and 

hope one day to find and have for

my very own.
