Letter Seventeen

My old job featured angry robots who sent email.

I’ve got to get a message to you
I’ve got to get a message to you
I’ve got a message that can’t get through
I’ve got to get a message to you

There are things you need to know
And things I need to say
But I can’t get through to you
I’ve got to find a way
And I don’t want to be the one you blame
For things that went unsaid
But I can’t find a way to get through to you
So I’ll talk to myself instead

If I try too hard to force the words
Will you just turn away?
Or will you hear me out and give me a chance
And maybe let me stay?
And I don’t want to be the one who decides
What’s right or wrong for you
And I want to find a way to get one more chance
But I can’t get a message through
