choking on words

the words
choke me
sometimes.

they get all
caught up
in my throat.

they don't
come out
quite
right.

they don't
really
make sense,
even
to me.

sometimes,
i can't breathe
through them.

and -
i'm tired.
i'm sad,
yes,
but mostly,
i'm tired.
of -
it.
of all of
it.

and
i wish
that my words
could just
work
a little
better.

i wish my words
could
maybe,
possibly,
just
once,
come easily
out of
my mouth.

but that only happens
when i'm
alone.

and i just
want
to say
to tell
someone,
anyone,
how i
feel. how
tired
it all makes me.

but i can't
find
the words
to tell
anyone
that.
