Spew the tumultuous thoughts trapped in my mind, Murky puddles of ebony ink pouring out And splattering against the blank ivory pages All the words I've never been able to say Simmering under my skin, eager to erupt The flames within broil as my emotions burn Their embers lancing through my veins, flooding my blood, My hands grip the pencil and flow along, Bringing rivulets of fire with them Just a few uneven strokes, and the lost letters form Page after page fills, a manifestation of the intrusive words Keeping me awake at night, nudging me to finally speak up Ever so gently, their blazing heat embraces my soul, urging me on My fingers caress the sea of flames, breathing an inferno to life
