Loss Of Words

I don't mind the words,
Just see how they work,
I don't know when to talk
And when to better shut up,
Don't know which word to use
And which might insult,

I feel like a sheep,
In a world full of wolves,
They know the rules
And they play the game.

I struggle to live
And to find my way through
This labyrinth of words,
This cage of letters, surrounding me,

If I mastered the language,
I could leave and escape,
But once I'm gone from here,
Another prison awaits me,
The dungeon of speech,
No way to escape,
So I go on and run,
Becoming mute instead.
