Clumsy Words

Have you ever felt
That all you say is wrong? 
That no matter how much you try
All you get are clumsy words? 

Some people just nail it
They always say the right things
Heartfelt words,  perfect ones
The ones you couldn't come up with

Sometimes I just feel too much
It would be easier not to feel
Lock my heart
And not care
But that's not who I am

I'll keep caring, loving, 
Getting hurt,
Sharing my clumsy words
They are all I got
