Speak

I'm at a loss for words

Today I don’t want to speak.

I don’t want to use words today.

We all take the ability to speak

for granted.

 

Today I am silent.

My mouth kept shut.

I don’t want to give speeches

or scream at the top of my

lungs.

 

Today I am speechless.

My body is temporarily in shock.

I’m standing back to admire

and hate

the world.

 

Today I am wordless.

My tongue is tied.

I’m trying to cough up

the words stuck in my

throat.

 

Today I am unheard.

My voice lost in millions of others.

I’m still learning,

learning to

speak.

I know the feeling of this poem. I try to find silent. I feel my words are wasted.
"Today I am speechless.

No weakness in this excellent poem.
