WORDS

At night words fill my head
Right before I go to bed.
No matter how much I try
They just won't leave my mind.
Feelings of frustration show
Wanting to let the world know
How I'm truly feeling deep inside
Not letting my heart be my guide.
At times, my mind is blank and bare
Sometimes I just don't care.
But when I do try to go to sleep
These words begin to creep.
I want to let the words out
Should I write or scream and shout?
So I grab a pen and a scrap of paper
And pour my thoughts here and there.
But sometimes writing doesn't do it
Words are all over, and just won't fit.
Why am I trapped by these words?
Like some sort of caged birds?
Tortured inside, forever lonely
Haunted by memories for all eternity..

made that up just now, while i was responding to Kori's poems. thanks for the idea Kor! i told you i feel this way too sometimes, and here's my version of that poem you wrote about just having all these thoughts and ideas and all that jazz lol! seriously though, i havent written anything in so long, until i started writing my old ones on this thread. then the words came back and keep me awake at night.........
