Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Hypothetically speaking

What if I told you

exactly how I felt inside

Spoke about emotions

I've always tried to hide

Made gestures

or simple little hints

To put your attention on a level

that it has never ever seen

Led you to my heart

without touching you physically

but speaking to you mentally

and stimulating you spiritually

How would you feel

If I expressed my deepest secrets

and most private moments

Could you handle the intensity

of the words being spoken

without action being given

Hypothetically speaking

do you think you could handle it

at any given moment?

This hits me like a brick, reminding me that I have listened to the same thing before from many people who do not feel like they are being heard. A brillant poem .

Interesting.... It could also be seen as it being a conversation with someone whom the author has an interest in, and wants to make sure that the other individual would be able to handle what's being said without acts or thoughts that are based solely on physical contact, but instead a deep mental stimulation.

Thank you! You are correct on so many levels and always seem to get the authors words or shall I say my words.
