I have travelled through time with nothing but a pen
Dark secrets welled in paired rhymes silently praying to be cleansed
Miserably failed with slurred line only growing tensed wary 'til the end
Lips tight, sealed with murky mind attempts to converse a glimmer of sense
Words sometimes feel insufficient, but they offer a way to pour out my heart, much like a release for someone who's intoxicated in a haze of words and thoughts
