Afraid to Lose the Arch of My Words

I’m afraid to lose the the arch of my words.

I’m afraid that one day I will mentally fall and my words won’t come out.

I’m afraid my speech will splur and my words won’t make sense.

Im afraid when once I talk my words won’t have their arch.

My words won’t have expressions,

They won’t have meaning,

They won’t have effect,

And

They won’t have a soul.

My fear of losing the arch of my words terrifies me, but even if that happens I would be satisfied with everything I wrote good or bad, happy or sad.

I don’t write to inspire.

I’m uninspired because im selfish,

Because I write for me and only me.

Because I can’t express myself anyother way.

So if my words were to splur, crumble, fall apart,

or lose its arch. I just hope at least one person reads my writing and knew or knows what I was feeling.

That’s my only wish for my writing.

If I were to lose the arch to my words.
