relearning to talk

i have no idea

how the discord began today.

i find these

adolescent years

(almost)

impossible to navigate

safely.

is it best to say

nothing-

to say everything-

or

to stumble over words

as if i am

relearning to talk?

a small piece of me

clings to my

supposed intelligence

but during times like this

i feel as if

i am stripped

 bare of even

 my most basic

 conversation skills.

left with only tangled,

unspoken

intentions i wish to share

with you.
