When Spoken Words Aren't Enough

Communication is something we all struggle with at some point in our lives. It's a obstacle we all have faced, whether it's in our relationship or our every days lives, everyone can relate.

In this poem, he touches on the struggle he has with communicating with others. For him it is easier to write what he can't say himself. Poetry is his way of articulating and expressing what he feels to those he can't speak the words to his self.

This part of the poem jumped out to me. I think we all have these moments when we can't express exactly what we feel and stumble on our words, "finesse becomes fumble as spilt milk, toast plates tumble from tabletop to floor knocked over during dinner conversation. Such a mess. I hope to someday be better at it. It's what I wish for"

Communication

Interacting with people isn't easy

It never was

At least not for me;
words don't come and go
or flow as easily as poetry does;

finesse becomes fumble
as spilt milk, toast plates
tumble from tabletop to floor
knocked over during dinner
conversation. Such a mess

I hope to someday
be better at it

It's what I wish for;

being free of this fucking
house bound banality
talking face to face
gauging expression

not feeling mired down in
inferiority's mucking abundance
always underfoot whenever I
stumble

Bringing me up to speed
with what I desperately need
and lacked thus far, having
compensated this entire time
behind stanzas precision
packed with rhyme

I believe
in the power of your Love
and patient soul you are
