It’s funny how these
words flow so
freely from
my pen
and write the things
I long to say
and write the things
I didn’t know
I wanted
to say
They break free
these feelings boiling
deep down inside of me
deep down
where I shove all
my pain
where I shove all
my rage
all my loneliness
all my desire
it bubbles up in
tiny poems
that spread across
the page
that fill notebooks
upon notebooks
it’s funny how these
words flow
so freely
from
my pen
when my words
get stuck in
my throat
when I try
to speak
and choke
me til
I bleed
it’s funny
how I can write
the words
that I can
never
say
.
