They are only words
Just letters
They don't mean anything
That's what everybody thinks

But words cut deep
They will never know
My wounds
My scars
They are hidden behind all of the
Rumble and dust
Left over from the war in my mind

The war between myself,
The beholder, the skin and bones
And my thoughts,
The destroyer, the blade and knives

These words in my mind
They scare me
I try feebly to catch them
But their wings slip through my
Trembling fingers and they just
Fly around my mind some more

Concealing themselves
Behind memories long forgotten
They know I could
Never hurt them there
Because then my memories will be
Gone, destroyed by my thoughts

I am trying
I am trying so hard
I am fighting them
Holding them at bay
But after years of torture and torment
My arms are getting tired

My thoughts are smart
They know when to strike
When to hide
When to reveal themselves
My thoughts are smart

My thoughts scare me
But they are only words
Only letters
They don't mean anything
Thats what they all thought
Until my thoughts
Overtook my mind
Now they fly free
Their wings pierce my soul
My thoughts, these letters,
Their words
They cut me deep
