i keep stepping on my tongue,
and slipping into my own spit
drowning in a pool of drool
and splashing in this toothy pit
only finding broken vowels
with no consonants in reach,
leaving me without the sound
in a world with zero speech
the letters just can't line up right,
and the words just don't make sense
i'm out of bark and out of bite,
now i just want to get some rest
