what is like to be left without words
This is what is like to have no words
All my words have been cut from my tongue
and I have been left mute
All words I have ever written have been burnt away like paper
All the words I have thought or thought to say have faded
like mental decay or memory loss
and I am left with nothing
but silence
other peoples words invade my space
turn the smile on my face to a frown and a grimace
my words have left me and I feel naked
without them and stupid I am seen to be
when people gain a first impression of me
because what without words what I am seen to be
but a child of three
trapped in a adult body
a figure of fun to be laughed at or pitied.
