I like to think of myself as quite an eloquent and articulate speaker and writer‚ but there are times when I feel neither. It is ironic that the very subject of this poem‚ a lack of words‚ or rather a lack of inspiration‚ is exactly what is holding me back from writing the things I would like to write.
