ironically unoriginal

i'm tired of typical metaphors
and still familiar phrases
being all that pass from my lips
even as i search for subtleties
and new ways to work with words
so i can say the things i mean
in a language that's unique to me
and not the tongues of many men
because i can't believe my brain would work
on familiar frequencies frequently used
with so many paths of thoughts
and circumstances so distanced
