Stammer -Sf

The pulse races,
the mind falters,
the tongue stumbles,
the speech a-jumble.

My wretched stammer
leaves aspirations in tatters.
My heart broken 
by the words unspoken.

Choo Sum, I do not know if I met you before, but how wonderful to know you under the circumstances of giving you a top win, third place in my SF contest. Short like I wanted but full of meaning. Congrats on your win.

Thank you so much ! I've completely forgotten about submitting this piece as an entry . I am having a difficult time living with SAD (Social Anxiety Disorder) and just scribbled this to vent out some frustration.
