Can't Stop

Poetic words flow

Graphite on paper

And I just know

That they could be a rapier

Piercing a friends heart

And yet I don’t stop

I know it’s not smart

But I can’t stop



Never knew who I really am

Never knew if I fit in

Wanted to have it all

But everyday I would fall

Always thought I should be cool

God, I was such a fool

To think that rank mattered

To think that they mattered



Now no matter how I try

They always manage to make me cry

It’s depressing

It’s compressing

Me into a jangled mess

Confusing every single guess

Releasing all my fears and terrors

Onto blank white sheets



Poetic words flow

Graphite on paper

And I just know

That they could be a rapier

Piercing a friends heart

And yet I don’t stop

I know it’s not smart

But I can’t stop



I might be getting back at them

With these words of anger

But then again

It could just be depression

Speaking words to my friends

Words never heard except in my head

Words that express deep pain

I think I’m going insane



Hidden in my music

My poetry, my stories

I disappear into another world

The words twisted and twirled

Floating around me

Filling my aura

They set me free

Make me happy



Poetic words flow

Graphite on paper

And I just know

That they could be a rapier

Piercing a friends heart

And yet I don’t stop

I know it’s not smart

But I can’t stop
