I got this idea from a poetry workshop I went to yesterday: Write a poem about what your words do. "My words change" or "My words never lie" for example. Make it as creative as you want! And tag me @LiberalPoet.

my words

reach inside 

and pull at the heartstrings 

play on paper like a song 

evoke feelings meant to be kept a sercert 

they unravel down the page 

and 

they lock unto your heart 

and keep you comfort in the dark 

they sing hymmns 

of misery 

they wither through your bones 

and reach your lips and cause you to sing the same notes 

of hope and hopelessness 

they push you down to the surface 

and cause you to grapple with logic 

cause you to question my decisons 

scream at me like your reader 

and I am the character 

yelling with pleas of no 

my words bleed 

blood 

tears 

and pain 

posionous dipped daggers prepared to kill 

and attack and leave you for dead 

hand built coffin 

filled with snake like thoughts ready to contrisct snd choke 

and sink their venomous teethed dreams 

of devoring flesh in the middle of the night 

begs of mercy 

screams pleads of sucide 

fights with the commonaltiy of human thinking 

fear to think out of the box 

to address subconsciounous thoughts 

to threaten the foundation of reality 

questioning if what we are lving right now isn´t just a matrix

they play peek a-aboo with the sunshine and walk out of the darkness every once in awhile 

and built such words of strength 

of sunshine 

the beauty of life 

it springs rays of hope 

in such hopeless situations 

it creates a rainbow of black and white 

suffocates you in her feelings 

warms the cold sky 

sometimes make a  day with sunshine seem dark 

rainfall of tears 

wet paper 

soaked in emotion 

a constant book 

written in motion 

never stopping 

always dribbling nonsense 

and addressing what is not addressed 

my words of all 

emody me 

My words alter the perception of how I view the world 

depending on how I angle my eyes
