No Words

Today is one of those days when my words won't come.

I sit in this meeting, but can't find anything to say. I know I should, to contribute, to avoid that label of "too quiet". But I cant find my words.

And when it is my time to speak, I struggle starting, croaking and stuttering. And that old monster holds my tongue. Saying my words are no good, that I made a fool of myself, that I should never speak again. I know it's lies. But I don't have the words to tell him he's wrong.

So I fall silent.
