constantly overlooked for something better


tossed around because of my ubiquity


whose value is always undermined by the others


and, so my capabilities are ignored


but, i still linger waiting for someone,


something to realize my worth.





and, it is then in times of need


that i’ll be recognized and so,


I'll appear at the tip of the tongue


ready to be released and assist you


slurs of emotions that are attached to me


are released into shouts and whispers






my power of feeling is unsealed, my two best emotions.


anger that seethes through the sentences


from injustice that touches, you and I


care, for when loved ones are in despair


and my steady flow of reassurance


will bring you back up





and, although i will always linger with you


at the tip of the tongue i rest


until, the need for me is met


and, i’ll flow whenever


for i am constant, and will never fade

because, i am the words that’ll stick with you
