Word Trap

Words trap me Saying No When yes is meant, Hiding so that I can not find What it is I want to …… . I stumble over them, And among a jumble Of incoherent sentences, Meaning is lost. Words trap me, So sometimes To get my own back, I bite my tongue, It’s a little like cutting my nose To spite my face.
