Words do not echo.
Words do not cry.
Words do not,
Identify.

Scrambled and stirred,
Frozen and baked.
Pulled when needed,
Eaten to be fed.

Pieced together,
Black or white,
Laugh or fight,
Wrong or right.

A sound is bound by key,
A picture by color pigments,
Emotions chemically,
But words contain,
Everything,
And absolutely,
Nothing.

The same word
Can be
Completely
Different,
Depending who, what, how
When it was read
Or written.

What if every word,
Was positive in meaning?
Harmless,
Could not
Destroy feelings.

Words have no senses.
Words have no bounds.
No touch, sight, taste, or smell.
Words have no sound.

Words have no sound.
Unless read aloud.

we are not meant to be whole
we are not meant to have the same pieces
we are not meant to be puzzles
we are meant to be people

maybe someday i will discover
my strength,
and maybe i will use it
to shatter the lies
that tint and warp my reflection.
maybe, maybe,
maybe i will use the shards
to create a path to healing.
and the shards will cut my feet
with every step
i force myself to take,
but maybe -
maybe the scarlet blood staring at me
will make me, let me,
want me to keep moving.
and i will.

(i try not to remind myself
of my biggest fear,
that there is nothing tinting my reflection,
that there will be no shards
to make my way.)

my mother used to
tell me that i keep my heart
hidden in my head

light and loose
bending and flowing and spreading
beautiful,
thoughtful,
meaningless,
my watercolor words.

Absence doesn't always make the heart grow fonder
Sometimes it makes it forget
And what doesn't **** you doesn't always make you stronger
Sometimes it tears you apart with regret
she used to write so much
about love and other
nonsensical things
she was passionate for words
her mind filled with
imaginary memories
now her papers are blank
pen's lying on the table
and her hand
fitting perfectly
in another
