Grasping for the words as they spill through my hands
Blown past the horizon, journeying towards unknown lands
Screaming in the wind for them to return, they do not
Shambling forward, now blind to this meaning I’ve sought
Scrambling for the words to dance into place and achieve harmony
Struggling to bring them to life and align together as a symphony
Trying to orchestrate this mess in my mind to come out as ink
Needing the music to pick apart the discord in my head filled with broken links
Wanting to put them on this page not for you to see, but to feel
Extracting something more than what is shown, something real
Breathing them in only for them to be released out of my reach
Falling away into the depths, tried to learn what none can teach
Drowning now in this chasm of frustration all stemming from inside
The only thing I treasured fades away, leaving me nowhere to hide
Mouth dry where a river of words should be flowing out from my heart
Left in a desert, surrounded by broken words, all for me to pick apart
