Words

An intricate structure waiting to built

Forging pathways in darkness

Uniting and diving

Conquering the souls of countless

Creating a network of ideas

Drowning in a sea of thoughts

In myself

Words illuminating 

Words enlightening

Words engulfing 

Popularity contest

Beauty pageant

Lavishly devoting ourselves

Flaunting every gem

And hiding every shadow

Survival of the fittest

Escaping

Transceding

Becoming

Welcoming ideas

Refugees from a cruel competition

Sheltered from the cruel reality

Not from their own magnitude

Whether they wreak havoc

Create illustrious fantasies

Ignite desires

Words are ideas

A burden of creativity 

Is our responsibility

Our ideas create our world

And we cannot hide from our shadows

Hiding them in closets

Locking them in the deepest corner of ourselves

Perfection is a vain ambition

We our compromised of our ideas

Our words

Fortunate enough

To have found a place

In which they do not have to hide in closets

In ourselves

Where they can engulf others

And fly
