tug and pull
tickle and taunt
clog the pen's artery
get caught in my throat
stuck on the tip of my tongue
these words
tease and mislead
evoke hollow dreams
speak mindless truth
linger in the minds of the uncouth
but never grace me with the simplicity of my truth
these words
hide in the shadows
daring me to seek them out
to enter the unknown
to overcome the fear
these words
drag my soul kicking and screaming onto the page
cackling and laughing at my feeble resistance
these words mirror my reflection
magnify my inadequacies
and yet, somehow, give me hope
these words are all i have
