I'm lost when finding the right communications.
How do I impress the persons in earshot
When my tongue is tied up like a seafarer's knot?
Inside I'm a mixed up tumbled up jumbled up mess
Outside I'm a stuttering muttering wreck
And if I try to piece together something clever or cunning
I disregard the pieces to avoid a swift shunning.
And when I finally do utter an utterance with courage mustered up
Immediately I realize I should have kept my mouth shut.
Yes I'm too much of an idiot for idioms
And too out of phase to turn a phrase.
And rather than articulate and verbalize
It's better I attenuate and internalize.
So call me quiet, taciturn or introspective
And delight in the fact you won't hear my perspective.
