Speech Bubble

 I do not think before I speak.
This troubles me from week to week.
My words echo into the air;
I wonder if they know I care.

I am not careful with my speech;
I know not how far my words reach.
My words of compassion are rare;
I wonder if they know I care.

I sometimes fail to hold my tongue;
my experience still seems young.
I don't know how much I can share;
I wonder if they know I care.

If you don't mind my saying, your musicality is a little wonky with certain lines, but the poem as a whole is brilliant! Love the rhymes, and the repetition; the message is solemn and powerful. This is simply fantastic! Well done!

Yeah, I'm getting back into poetry after a very long hiatus, still working out the kinks and just trying my hand at various forms :-)

Cyool! This is still a very well constructed piece, and once the kinks are dealt with, you'll definitely have a gem.
