Ciao

How are you today?

Feeling any better?

They ask.

About to answer,

I stutter.

For the words I say,
most of which don't matter.

Again I stutter.

Finally, I go.

A little better,

less bitter.

I take a moment and wonder.

A heart shatter.

Does venting,

actually matter?!

It better.

Don't you give up.

The earth keeps spinning.

One more round.

Maybe this time,

you'll end up winning.

Time helps hearts heal.

So be patient,
It's okay to stutter. 

So, today I feel a little bit better.

A little less bitter.

Utter Stutter
