I wanna make good messages,
so I don’t.
In my head I write pages
folks might like to see, but won’t.

So I don’t 
try correspondence 
folks might like to see (but won’t).
I might be 50% full of despondence.

Try correspondence:
once upon a time I relished letters,
I might be 50% full of despondence,
diminished health produces heavy fetters.

Once upon a time I relished letters,
in my head I write pages.
Diminished health produces heavy fetters,
I wanna make good messages.
