Aphasia
Sometimes when I talk with you,
It's harder than you see,
Trying to find a single word
That plays hide n' seek with me.
I know what it is I want to say
And try so hard to sound.
But the word I want to come out
Just simply can't be found.
It's right there somewhere in my head.
It must feel safe inside,
For when I try to verbalize
The word decided to hide.
I know what it is, what it means
And what the word's about.
I just wish I knew it's hiding place,
When it won't come out.
