My Better Self

My better self still knows
 That meaning comes and goes
 What is innate, I do not know
 But meaning comes and it goes
 Each and every attempt
 A bit of substance spent
 Despite the effort I have lent
 You seem to lose what I've meant
 ♪
 If I don't use words then each sound goes unheard
 Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
 Symbols suggest they are fit to possess
 A purpose and function that cannot be met
 Those who create it know
 There is an ebb and flow
 Only the value given shows
 That meaning comes and goes
 My better self still knows
 That meaning comes and goes
 What is innate, I do not know
 But meaning comes and it goes
