Tell Me Something

Tell me something.
not what you want me to hear,
not what I want you to say,
but something.
a million things
from a million thoughts
by a million minds
start to all look the same-
words can become vacant
lacking content beyond letters and syllables
random inklings spilled upon blank pages
drying up into colors and tones-
where only fractions of intentions,
and minuscule conventions,
exist.
tell me something-
something you.
