To share words...

The words

are slow

to come.

One at a time
trembles upon my lips
before spilling forth.

Slowly
picking up speed
they
flow
at first
like a lazy undulating
stream through
a crowded wood.

And then
as the pressure
builds towards
release
like a
raging rapids
words
leap over
submerged
emotion,
rushing forth
to be expressed,
to share,
to enlighten,
to dance,
to rage,
to comfort,
to share...

Always to
share.

That internal
need
to share
one's self
through the
use of
words
whether
spoken
or written.

sharing is caring :P even if one is sad,angry,happy. Its always good to talk it out. This was fun to read :)

As I was reading it, as the intensity increased, I started reading it faster and faster until there was that break in the stanza. Lol it was perfect! The "pressure" was conveyed so perfectly through the structure and the word choice.
And I completely agree with the words; by simply sharing our thoughts, our problems, we are able to feel less estranged and alone. Beautifully written, Judy.

Communication is a needed skill in a life. Take practice to be confidence in written words or spoken. Few of us are born great speakers. I like the logic in your poem. A excellent poem. Thank you.
