I hid beneath raw words

Pages and chapters

I thought writing of the chase

Would catch what I was after

I used my sorrow

Filled journals to the brim

But I was still empty

And so was my pen

I hid beneath beautiful words

Songs and bands

I thought hearing the bass tremble

Would sooth my trembling hands

I listened with my eyes closed

I got lost in the drone

But I was still broken

And so were my headphones

Sadly

No 26 letters

Can change what is real

If only my precious words

Could teach me how to heal
