What Are Words
Location
language
it shifts
changes
rearranges
it moves
and remains
but a word is a word
and blue is blue
but is blue to me the blue to you?
is this poem my poem
or is for you?
does it move you
when you're sad
glad
feeling bad.
do you relate
does it cause debate
does it educate?
I don't know
you don't know
we don't know.
but isn't that why we all write?
To find out if what we feel
is real
and we can deal
with it.
We all don't know
what caused the first "write."
we all just wanted to feel right
I write for you
and you write for me
and when I write I feel free
I'm no longer me
I am that feeling
of confusion
delusion
and contusion.
that's why I write
these words that aren't really words
they're me and you
you and me
finally
set free
