...!

the words are on the tip of my tongue

and yet they come out of my fingertips

thoughts spill and splash and bubble over my brain on a daily basis

and i ***** them out into a blubber that you can't grasp

or maybe you just don't want to understand

that i'm not your average joe

that i make more mistakes than one should admit

and that someday

i'm going to write all over these walls

and fill every space with words

of beauty and truth and downright nonsense

maybe then people will get it

writing is the only thing left in this world

it is the only thing that will keep us going

yet nobody wants to tell people things they dont want to hear

because that would just be outrageous

but we need to

the day we stop thinking on our own

is the day the world will end
