JUST SAY IT

Written words unspoken,
what is their use?

I find things hard to say,
when I talk something gets
in the way of my flow of thought.

But,
give me some paper,
put a pen in my hand,
give me some time
to think and understand
what I really mean.

My feelings take on
a poetic form,
blow through my mind
just like a storm
and clear the air.

I rhyme for pages
as I explore,
slowly comprehend
a little bit more
as I let it flow.

Until

One day I find
the words have stopped,
the pens are dry,
the paper’s gone to pulp.

So, in my helplessness
I learn how to
verbally communicate.
