How Many Pictures?

Palms sweaty, throat tight, nerves raging

Humid night, elephant in the room, always on eggshells

This is WHAT I write 

Betrayal, despair, deceit 

A bad nights sleep, cottonmouth, a knot in my gut

This is WHAT I write

In my head, in my heart, in my existence 

No one sees, no one hears, no one knows 

This is WHY I write

I can't talk, but I can't escape. 

Emotions have to leak out somewhere

This is WHY I write.

It said that "ANY picture can paint a thousand words."

How many pictures can  MY WORDS paint?
