Lyrical Spill

Barely controlled

words spewing so fast

Thoughts said out loud

leaving cuts that'll last

Run if you want

hide if you can

But warning beware

its caught all who have ran

 

Grab all of your things

lets go for a ride

Or come as you are

thats for each to decide

Gallons of ink

overflowing for hours

Drenching all unprotected

like word thunder showers

 

Past the point of return

in the path of it all

Useless to run

Just as effective to crawl

Again feel free

to give it a shot

Its going to spread

like it or not

 

Build ways around it

or stay far & clear

Another possibility perhaps

Is just ignore its there

Ignore all the warning

stand firm & defined

But stick around later

See whats left behind

 

At the end of it all

as it starts to recede

Take it all in

before you proceed

Look past fear

for promise of thrill

If you go with the flow

of my lyrical spill
