Too Hungry for Words

It is moments like this that I wish I was a gifted poet.

I could artfully weave words

into a sonnet exposing all of my feelings.

I could set myself free.

I could release all the pressure in my chest all through the power of words.

Sadly,

I am not a gifted poet.

I am not going to expose all of my feelings.

I will not sprout wings and fly away.

If only there was a way for the rest of us to show how we feel and rid ourselves of the parasites

eating away at us.

I try to write them but they grow too long too hungry for words.
