Lost for Words

When your voice isn't loud enough there's always poetry!

The words come out

So wrong, so unclear.

They destroy.

Self destruct,

They injure, they maim.

I try to express,

But I don’t have the skill.

I’m lost in my mind,

and my mind can’t compute.

I try to cry out,

But then claim i’m okay.

These words,

They lie.

I cry but i cannot say,

I try!

I try!

These words,

they hide.

I’m lacking the knowledge,

communication and will.

I’m falling,

Fading and failing.

There’s just nothing to say.

There’s ears to listen,

But my voice can not speak.

This language i’m spewing,

Not one understands.

I’m lost in a world

where I just can’t find the words.

I agree. Good to release words to paper.
"Not one understands.

Sometime silence is better. When our words are meaningless to the listener. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Sometimes, it`s easy being around words so, sometimes.. as hard as uncertainty of life, but yeah.. the poetry helps everyone either getting relaxed with calm winds or getting lost in past.. with or "without" words. So, I think, lacking of words chew the soul deeply as long as a writer ain`t chew the words with 'poetry'. Very beautiful write you`ve come up with. Liked it!

[Briana O'Connor]

thank you :D

[Ashira Macy]

That is exactly how I feel a lot of the time. Like my mind isn't always quick enough to keep up with the world. I will often think of the perfect thing to say to something five minutes after the subject is dismissed. But you are totally right, that is what poetry is for. Brilliant write!

[Briana O'Connor]

I know right? My brilliance always comes to late or too early in the conversation :P Oh well...their loss ;D Thank you for reading.

[Tricia Pattinson]

Expresses quite well the frustration of not finding adequate words for descriptions. Well done!

[Briana O'Connor]

It's so frustrating to be unable to express ourselves in the exigency of the moment. You penned that struggle.

[Briana O'Connor]

thank you for your kind words

[MomzillaNC]

You're welcome.

[TL Boehm]

funny how those of us who spend so much time using words, because we write, struggle with finding those same words we wield. The frustration of that is clear in this one

[Briana O'Connor]

thank you for your kind words.

Can relate to what you have said in the poem..words are like bombs at times..maybe communion in silence is what we all are waiting for, when you just give someone a glimpse and you become transparent..nothing said or done..just a look to suffice and the message conveyed :)
