Speechless
I can never stumble
on the right words
the dislocated ones I find,
just fall and tumble
out of my mouth, bumbling
it's too hard to navigate word order
through the fog of dizziness
the tip of your tongue evokes
disoriented busyness
disrupts my thought process
and causes my heart to erupt
while my vernacular chokes
on the right words
the dislocated ones I find,
just fall and tumble
out of my mouth, bumbling
it's too hard to navigate word order
through the fog of dizziness
the tip of your tongue evokes
disoriented busyness
disrupts my thought process
and causes my heart to erupt
while my vernacular chokes

This poem beautifully captures the struggle and frustration of being unable to articulate thoughts and feelings effectively. The imagery of stumbling over words and the sensation of dizziness effectively conveys the disorientation and difficulty in finding the right words. The use of language such as "dislocated," "tumble," and "disrupted thought process" vividly illustrates the challenge of communication when one's mind feels overwhelmed. Overall, it's a poignant portrayal of the struggle with verbal expression and its emotional impact.
