Words In My Head.
I got a word in my head
It makes sense if I perform it,
When performing it, I become it,
As I become it, no one will know who I am,
Then I will only be called the word.
I got another word in my head,
If I act it out, I will be considered strange,
A bit stranger than the last word performed,
Then eyes will follow like shadows,
Grasped closely to me, which I cannot walk without their hold.
Loneliness becomes desired within the crowd of eyes and faces.
If I show the other words in my head,
I will be an outcast to most those I am surrounded by,
I will be carried out the room, shackled head to ankles,
I will be buried by shame that society has gazed upon me,
I will be surrendered to the abyss of the other outspoken minds that all have rejected,
I only wanted to share with them the words in my head.
This poem is about:
Me
