The Weight of words


The weight of the words is intolerable Line after line constricting unfathomable Each sentence holding me fast By my overambitious past I fall on page after page Kept up in this haze belaying an age If I could free myself from this cage I would be beyond my gaze And so much freedom to build my haze
