I’ve always been more intrigued
With the written word
For I am able to formulate sentences
With more eloquence
When I’m accompanied by a pen and paper.
My words stumble out when said aloud,
Strung together with
No semblance of articulation.
I like to think I’ve mastered
The extended metaphor,
But the truth is,
It commands me.
For without it,
I cannot say anything of substance.
