My Words
I find solace in my words
Because apart from them being words, they are mine
My ideas, my thoughts, my experience, my story
My words
And my words are ones of brawn and boldness
But they are also ones of fragility and fright
However all words in which soothe my soul
Words to savor and salivate over again and again each time I speak them aloud
Sweet words of serenity
All mine
The keys to my sanity and salvation
The true heroes in life
The true soup for the soul
My soul
My words
Mine and mine alone
With each vowel and consonant they fill my spirit like a siren's serene song seeping slowly within
This is what they do to me
My words, do to me
They save me before I even know I need saving
They rescue me after I've already been crossed
They comfort me when the damage has been done and my wombs remain open
Waiting for them to slip themselves between the slivers of my flesh and make me one whole human once again
My words
Forceful beings
My beings
That I've created
The spawn of my imagination
My solace
Because they are mine, mine and mine alone
My words
