I have never stuttered in pen
misspoken in ink
or choked in my writing
the way I do
whenever I speak
my fingertips always know
the right words to say
my tongue is still learning

Frail
Thoughts
Fragile
Person

I can feel pain
Flowing between my ears
I can feel pain
Settling into my eyes

I can feel pain
Escaping my eyes
I can feel pain
Rolling down my cheeks

Frail
Thoughts
Fragile
Person

Strong
Words
Broken
Person

I can feel pain
Flowing between my ears
I can feel pain
In the back of my throat

I can feel pain
Rolling off my tongue
I can see pain
Entering their ears

Strong
Words
Broken
Person

What do I do with this hole in my chest....
