It seems like
Every time I open
My mouth
Stupid falls out.
It isn’t as if I can help it
But whenever I hope
To say something
That sounds mildly
Intelligent or even
Semi-witty
All that comes out
Is a mangled
Mismatching
Tangle of words
And it doesn’t
Even begin
To describe
What I feel

The author's comments:
Although it's human to be imperfect, I still feel imperfect as a human. When I speak, all I feel is idiocy.
