Sometimes,
I can’t find the right word,
a way to describe how I feel,
A way describe what I want to say.
Words fail me when I need them the most.
There’s no word to describe
The feeling I get
When I see people
With their families,
A family I never had.
There’s no word to describe
The person I am,
When I’m my worst self,
When I’m at the bottom of the hill,
That I just spent weeks climbing,
Only to slip and tumble
back to the bottom.

Sometimes,
I can’t find the right word,
Maybe because there is no word,
Maybe because,
I just
Don’t know the word
I want to use.
Words fail me
when I need them the most.
Maybe it’s the fact,
That knowing
more than one language
Has it’s cons
As well as its perks.
Getting words confused,
Not knowing how to spell,
Or the proper grammar of a sentence.
The snickering
From the back of the classroom
Is something I’ll never get used to.

Sometimes,
I can’t find the right word,
Not because I don’t know the word,
But because it doesn’t exist.
A word to describe my frustration
After studying for hours,
And staying up until much too late,
Because I just don’t know
How to answer
This god damned question.
Words fail me when I need them the most,
When I stare at the blank paper,
That’s supposed
to be full of the things
I want to say,
But I just
Don’t
Have
The words
To say it.
