An engine not turning
failure’s synonymous with learning
There’s something inside
Tongues behind teeth hide
and a rhyme can disguise all the right kinds of anguish
How does it come out?
Why can’t I shout?
Dr. Seuss crackhead, stop trying
An engine won’t turn
It’s frozen in doubt
hide the truth behind what’s easy
a smile, I’m fine
the words I can’t find
to ask why
I’m
swapping death with life
to please you
but the truth is, I just forgot again
who and what
I
am
Open eyes, turn the key
A spark
within the engine
again
