Words
Pushing at my hand
Yearning to escape my black pen
Black, like the ink on my fingers
and the hurt in my soul
I have to create
as you have to breathe
But create what?
Ideas swirl
but none are concrete
How do I make my mark on the world
if my brain is busy mapping the stars
The ink flows
And I say nothing
Nothing new, that is
The pen writes what it has before
Even as the words
push at my hand
But cannot possibly be free
