The Land Of Words
I’m lost in a land of words
They float around in the void of my mind
My brain matter harbors them
And I constantly search to find
The ones that’ll complete the puzzle,
To translate my thoughts,
Speaking emotions without struggle
But I’m entangled in the strings of their syllables
This word can’t go here
This word doesn’t match there
Go beyond the word my mind consciously stems,
Looking to the subconscious
A vaulted up library,
That is packed
full
of them
At times, the words are locked away
From my conscious thoughts, for no reason
And I feel like it’s treason
I always seem to hold the answer, underneath it all eventually
And like the puzzle,
The lock to my vault isn’t solved so easily
It takes a key *******, to sit back
And attack like a hacker
To complete the word formula
And fill in the blanks
Putting thoughts onto paper,
Before the impulse has sank
Eureka, I’ve found it!
The word was in my head
Like it existed forever,
Never able to be dead
I know I can do it
I can learn how to speak,
The language from within,
*So my soul can be leaked
Don't ever give up on trying to express your thoughts, it doesn't come easy at times. Be patient.
