What I cannot live Without


I cannot live without these flowery words

I build upon my past reactions, upon my past without giving up the pretext

I carve a moment in time with the power of my words

I recreate my nightmares on to these pages

I recreate my dreams on to these pages

I cannot live without these long drawn out expressions of what I cannot understand

I let all the words flow out of me and tell the world the way I find sorrow

I let all the words trickle out of me and tell the world the way I find comfort

I cannot live without my only release of what I cannot truly comprehend
