When Your Words Fumble

Don’t you hate it when you try to explain And the words just won’t cooperate You stumble and fumble, your message lost Leaving you frustrated and irate You had it all planned out in your mind Each thought perfectly aligned But when you opened up your mouth The words got muddled and intertwined You tried to convey your true intentions To make yourself clear and understood But instead, a jumble of nonsensical words Left you feeling misunderstood It’s like a puzzle with missing pieces Or a song with a broken melody You desperately try to find the right words But they slip away, out of reach So you shake your head in disbelief At the mess that spilled from your lips Wishing you could rewind and try again To express yourself without the slips Even when your words go astray For in the end, what truly matters Is the sincerity in what you try to say. So take a deep breath, gather your thoughts Eventually your words will come out.

This poem is definitely not in a tangle- lovely flow and easy read with the 4 line stanzas, rhythm and rhyme. It is a humorous but true account of miscommunication and how hard it is to re-set. Totally get that feeling! J :)
