From Where do these words come?

My Head?
My Heart?
My Mouth?
From Another?

Surely not.

Perhaps my pen has a mind of it's own
Perhaps my pen holds the words that
My Mind
Dare not think
My Heart
Dare not feel
My Mouth
Dare not say

I know not what I write
Only that I do
I sit, and let my pen do the talking

From Where do these words come?

For that, I am not entirely sure

The author's comments:
This is a very cool piece to me because I was reading a book in English class-The Riddles of Epsilon by Christine Morton Shaw-and I had to stop for a moment, and i suddenly had the strangest complusion to just write something, anything. So i got out my pen and just started to write random stuff and this is what came out. I literally "do not know what I write, only that I do".
