by Richard VincePlease be gentle: this wears me out.
It does not come naturally; it is not
How my heart and soul were made.
Words often fail to present themselves,
So I have to search, or bluff,
Or stammer my way through,
Hoping I do not stretch patience
To breaking point.
When I talk to you, it isn’t me yet:
It is a temporary attempt to be
Better at this than I really am.
