Speechless
 
 
 Trapped
Like a rat in a cage.
The cheese,
Taunting  me, teasing me,
Always out of reach.
Words
Never seem to flow off my tongue.
They all come out
In a jumbled
Slur.
Incomprehensible
My speech seems to be.
People don't get
What
I'm trying to say.
Expression
Is never an option for me.
Why can't I
Just
TALK?!?!
