TONGUE TIED
I want my words back, Lord -
The ones you’ve locked
Up in the furthest corners
Of my wounded mind.
The ones I have to search
For endless seconds to discover
Hiding in the brambles and the fog
That renders me an imbecile.
I need to have my language back.
There are visions I must paint
In vocabulary’s medium
On the canvas of my life.
Please give me back my words again
I can’t go on while this bereft,
Not knowing what to call a flower
That I planted years ago.
So on my knees beseeching you
Unlock the vault that hides my words
And let me be who I once was
So I can find my way back home.

It doesn't seem to be getting any better. Sorry for whining
