Words are enough

I found my place in words  

In which my soul is my metaphor

I choose to weave into verbs

I place my heart into the curves of assonance

to be guarded by the halting walls of alliteration

until their sentence has ended.

At one time being confined by

the simplest of minds, I

 released them in time, I

pleased them with rhymes

and became lost, then found

different meanings to old letters

taking simple elementary phrases and making them better

and then I finally found myself.

Somewhere against this world

I found my place in words.
