Wordless

[rose kraken]

Aren't words amazing?
Words can hurt like knives,
And they can heal like medicine.
Using simple words I can express my feelings.
I can tell the waitress how I want my coffee.
I can let my teacher know when she misspells something.
But what if I don't have the confidence to use words?
There are those who cannot use words, and those who are scared to.
I'm the "Scared to" kind, I fear I'm wrong,
I fear I make no sense,
I fear that I am hyperbolic.
My poetry often lacks honesty, which is why it's unattractive,
What if they disagree?
What if it is bad?
What if it is too immature?
I say I don't care but I do.
I get over excited when I get compliments,
and I get sad when I receive none.
I hate how simple minded I am.
And how I get super insecure over things that are untrue.
One day I want to use words like everyone else,
Brave words, honest words, smooth words.
I want to use words without thinking too much,
for words sound best coming from the heart.
I want to use words properly because to me they're important.
Because words are truly amazing.

Insecurity is what makes life exciting. Without it, we would all be bland. You will grow as a poet, and when the time is right, you will write books of poetry especially if you remember it is not always for everyone else, but mainly yourself.
