writing word after useless word filling page after page
my words do nothing
these pages don't speak
they can not bring anything to me
filling book after book
of my pain
of my joy
but why do I do this
how can this help
books full of pages full of words
will never save me

only on the day
that I rip my pages from my book
the day that I scream
the words off of my pages
only then
will they no longer be
a worthless heap of paper
but when can I
when will I
how can I
scream my words
for all to hear
for you to hear
