I hate words

xqw


Notice of absence from xqw
Silence is peaceful sometimes:)

I want my words to mean something

All of them.

I want to laugh and sing

all of them.

Watch each of them dance out of my mouth

like a newly-hatched butterfly.

 

There are no words to describe what I want to say

To think and know things

but not be able to say them

so they sit.

suffocating in my head.

until they go to bed

 

I wish i had the words of a poet

to just know it

the word at the edge of my tongue

at the front of my head

to say it for once instead

 

They all jumble up

A messy pile of wings

A ball of words

Stuck in my throat

unable to stay afloat

    Some have become unjumbled in this write, enjoyed the read

  • sorenbarrett

    Vivid images presented in a most unique third person manner. Very nicely said.

    i think you did the impossible - you just used them to describe what you feel- so keep writing
