To Speak

To Speak

To refuse silence,
To allow the words out.
Words bounce around in my head
Like puzzle pieces mixed up in a box.
Game is to put them in the right order.

Except when it's not.
Sometimes the heart takes over.
Arranges words neatly in a row.
Then all I have to do is put pen-to-paper.
And let the words flow, I'll let the words flow.



This piece is for a contest on another site, 
but I liked it so well had to share it here too.
