words in my head

there are words swimming around in my head

sometimes they make sense 

sometimes they dont

sometimes it feels like the words

are trying to get out

they bang on my skull

trying to find their way out

there are words trapped inside my head

little verbal prisoners

looking for a way out 

and sometimes writing them down

gives me a little peace 

the words flow from my brain

to the pen 

to the paper 

and liked caged birds

my words flow freely 

onto the paper 

somehow making perfect sense 

the words make their way out

the words swimming around in my head
