![]() slow slow slow slow slow slow why don’t the words come out when i want? why don’t the words come out as i want? why does it take so agonizingly long to put together
the phrases and sentences that are so simple? why does it take so long for me to process everything? i want to say so much, but the choked, rambling renditions that crawl out of my throat are nowhere near my real thoughts. i could write it okay, tune each word to true thought, if i had hours, but when i am supposed to respond the moment blinks by in seconds and i shut down, surrender to panic, and the words crumble down around my ears. slow slow slow slow slow slow Comments are closed.
