Speechless

Words fly from my head

And into my mouth

I swallow them down

Forget what they’re about

When the bubble up

Or threaten to show

I do all I can

I do all I know

I try to paint them clear

But It just makes them reflective

I try to forget they’re near

They try to put my life in perspective

The swallow me whole

But I don’t let them out

I can’t and I won't

That’s what this poem’s about
