I write because I must
or the words will burn my lips
as I choke on them
to keep from spilling my seed
into the world
I drink to silence the thoughts
that bubble to the surface
& when I'm in that nether place
they find their way out
with vodka stained breaths
I give them life
they intoxicate the sober mind

There aren't many words in this one but they are potent. I feel you on the writing to stop them from eating away at you. Many hugs and much love, my lady :)

these rebels inside us won't stay quiet, Crim,
like a baby needs to be born;
we call them poems...

I can definitely relate to this, sometimes you just have to get it out of you. This is an effective and relatable poem. X

Love this one, dear Crim
It's a bit different than your usual lines and shorter, but's so powerful!
That last line is plain brilliant... words as a substitue...
Love, Duende

Trying at times to quiet the thoughts, numbing the pain...... But still it comes back to haunt you so we have to let it out not matter how we try at times to push things back down..... Felt you on this one hun....
