These words
So close to me
Slices of my soul
Cut into paper
Bleeding my heart
My pride and joy
My escape from reality
They are my burden
And my true love
They are all I have
I am slave to them
My one true gift
Shouldn't they be shared?
For all the world to see?
For everyone to feel?
For everyone to know
The darkest corners of my mind?
Or the brightest rays?
No!
I need to hide them!
From those who would take them
Those who would steal them from me
And claim them as their own
They will never know
How their treachery kills me
These words
That are all I have
These words
That I am slave to
And master of
And keeper of
My pride and joy
My escape from reality
These words
BECOME my reality
The ONLY one I know
The only one that IS me
ALL of me
MY dreams
MY prose
These words are mine
