Words swirl in my brain
Sentences form
The need to jot them down becomes
Overwhelmed by body busyness
They get forgotten
Left to mull in the recesses of my brain
Then when opportunity arises
They fail to appear in any form of sensical reason
Words have always been
my love
my escape
my weapons
Words feed my soul
I am a word devourer
A word fanaticist
And when words escape me….
I need words to convey
myself
me
my heart
who I am
To you
To you the reader of my ramblings
And when I lose my words
I am lost
frustrated
scared
embarrassed
unsettled
Today I began to write what was in my heart
but my mind wouldn’t cooperate
so
I spill myself out
using words that I never intended
because the ones I want
elude me
I will endeavour to slow myself
to breathe
and focus
and bring myself back
I will search for the escapees
and return soon
