Thoughts

I found a thought in my brain
Something I haven’t seen in here for days
I asked before it escaped
What brought you here to this desolate place?
Using blood for ink, I watch my stories fade
Writing poetry with thoughts that I erased
Every phrase that never saw the light of day
Will become the only words I ever say
And I hope that somehow my soul will calm down
As I learn to pronounce the language I betrayed
As I sweat from my brow and decipher these vowels
May I comprehend doubt
With thoughts that never stayed
I felt my conscience awake
It seemed to scare all my ideas away
I asked if it would behave
I wish I knew how to make it obey
Using ink for blood, I write until I’m drained
Leaving memories I hate upon the page
I don’t think I’ll ever see the light of day
If I leave a piece of me to pave the way
And I hope that somehow my soul will calm down
As I learn to pronounce the language I betrayed
As I sweat from my brow and decipher these vowels
May I comprehend doubt
With thoughts that never stayed
And though they never stay
I will find a place
To sit and contemplate
Until I awaken all that I am, now
And I hope that somehow my soul will calm down
As I learn to pronounce the language I betrayed
As I sweat from my brow and decipher these vowels
May I comprehend doubt
With thoughts that never stayed
I found a thought in my brain
Something I haven’t seen in here for days
I watched it walk through my veins
Out through my fingertips into the page
