if only descriptions were suffcient
At sixteen, i am
still
unaware of the words
i can and cannot say.
i know words hurt
believe me
but now
every word
phrase
sentence
blends together.
how am i supposed to
tell someone
how i feell
without everything
b
r
e
a
k
i
n
g?
how am i
to tell someone
my most horrid
and ugly truths
without fear of
abandonment?
how am i
to tell a
work of art
that catharsis
has taken over
but
that i still want
all that i have thought about
with them?
how am i
to tell a
precious sould
that i want
to end my life?
there are no words
for any feeling
any craving
any thirst
i feel.
