AN EXCELLENT MISTAKE

Going Back Into My Shell

AN EXCELLENT MISTAKE

As I contemplate

everything I said

I feel bad

I hate myself.

You see

I'm not used to talking

That's why I write

It's my way of expression.

I don't feel bad

When I write

But the feeling is different

When I talk.

Arrg! I hate it

I hate myself

Oh my hedge

Why did you break?

My tongue found freedom

And ran away again

Please remind me

That I'm good with hands not voice.

    You may be surprised how many of us feel the same way about talking to people face to face. You have lots of company. Great poem. Love yourself.
