Originally
It felt like riding a bull
The ideas controlled the hand
They spilled out
Made a mess
Never turned out right
Words controlled the writer
Not the other way around
Over time and lots of effort
The writer has wrangled the words
Trained them
Taught them
The words still fight
Often times they still win
But the writer is starting to feel like
They can actually control them
Control the words
Control the thoughts
Not the other way around
Rationality guiding thoughts
Not thoughts guiding rationality
The thoughts
The words
They aren't gone
They are never going to disappear
They shouldn't disappear
But they are no longer in charge
