Compulsion
The hammering in my chest
Tattoing words and thoughts
The beat beat beat of the need
My need to express, it's compulsory
Uncontrollable in the way it directs me
I close my eyes and give up the reins
Feel the syllables drip off my tongue
The phrases keep coming
Every sound, every heartbeat
Has a story it wants me to tell
They yell at me to give them feet to run with
Eyes to see and judge with
Ears to listen and a mounth to scream
The words climb out
They imprint themselves on paper
They claim they attention of everyone
They pass on the compulsion
The need to let them out is passed on
You've caught it now
