The plunge

My fingers limb around the mechanic
I can form words through foreign tongues
But other words have a hard time coming out
As if there's a break in my lungs
Pencil heavy in my hand as I command myself to write.
But nothing. Words trailing off a cliff they haven't jumped from in years.
Unaware of what to expect. Afraid of what will happen if they transfer to the paper.
What power will they have? Will they be strong enough to get the message through.
I don't know. So, i break the pencil, burn the paper and keep my thoughts at bay
Always afraid of the jump.
