Not a poem about words

by Mark Hopwood   Jul 18, 2023


This is not a poem, it is regarding my chronic putting my foot in my mouth and not knowing why or how to not do it, because I'm a moron.
Just thought I'd share.

Although I often say the wrong thing, in my heart I mean well.
I'm a lover of words, but they get jumbled, come out wrong and insensitive and I don't say what I mean.
Then it's too late.

There's a quote on my wall that says "Don't let your words destroy everything you want to say"
That quote is on my wall for a reason, because it holds a truth.

I sometimes don't say what I mean to say and words are weapons when used incorrectly.
They can be misconstrued, misinterpreted or even just said wrong, I know I do this so often.
I try to say something but I turn onto a babbling Brook, that leads to a waterfall and down onto rocks.

I mean well but have trouble saying what I mean.

Another quote is: Say what you mean and mean what you say.
How do you do that when you're a moron?
How do I not hurt the one I love with mixed up words and feelings?

How do I separate my feelings from my words?
That's the key I think.
Think before I speak... easier said than done.
