Lost for Words

Lost for Words

A Poem by Briana O'Connor
"

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’m lacking the knowledge,
communication and will.
I’m falling,
Fading and failing."
