These Words

bysteelkat29©

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
