I want to tell you something
that's really profound,
but when I open my mouth
I can't make a sound.
Because I'm tongue tied, mind bound, and mentally spent
My message is received
but can never be sent.
I know that contradicts
everything i just said,
but I can't help
what i'm thinking inside of my head.
I'm trying real hard
to pry my jaws apart
but my saliva is like super glue
produced from my heart.
It seeps from my veins
and up through my throat
and sits on my tongue making it bloat
like a sponge it soaks up
and rises to the roof of my mouth
creating a barrier so no words can come out.
As I struggle to speak
I muddle my thoughts
And my profound statement is completely forgot.
