My words are like smoke Tendrils of murk branching out Disintegrating at my touch I try to grasp them, each and every one Forge them into weapons to slay the world Carving truths into skin, deforming souls But they slink away and leave me hollow Like wild beasts, they can't be tamed Shoved into little boxes of rhythms and rhymes They fear me as much as I fear them
Maybe the trick is to sit and wait, Let the fog consume me Use me, forge me, I beg you Make a weapon out of me Scar me with your truths, warp my soul Dig your claws in and pull my strings Rip me apart, if you must
