if i could find the words
A Poem by Anonymous 79
if i could find the words
i'd tell you everything
but as it stands, i'm failing
with borrowed quotes and phrases
don't keep giving me your praises
for my plagiarism, stolen thoughts
was was i just thinking? i forgot
how are my failing explanations
anywhere near your expectations
but you tell me it's enough
i'm enough, you know already
i don't have to say anything if i'm not ready
you're giving me time to find the words
more than i deserve
i should already have enough words
the books i read
the stories i write
some writer indeed
i know my excuse is all too trite
but no words i can think of ever sound right
my own thoughts aren't good enough
other people's works aren't nearly as rough
but if you're really giving me the time
i'll come up with some words that are really mine
when i come up with the words
i'll tell you everything
