I cannot bleed;
So instead my soul does so for me,
It spills the words I cannot speak,
The thoughts that clog my unfiltered mind;
It oozes out the unwanted emotions, thoughts, and demons,
Demons that reside in my head where they drive me i n s a n e,
Insane to the verge of breaking down;
So I bleed the words I cannot speak,
And call it poetry.
*****
In which I attempt to string words together and call it poetry in hopes of touching, or in the least, entertaining, the reader.
