Victoria Mineo- A Poem

These Damned Words

What are these words
that are stuck in my brain,
They rumbled and tumble
and drive me insane.

Silent they whisper
then loudly they shout,
Please let us be free
let us all out.

Take up your pencil
take up your pen,
Put us on paper
write us and then...

There will be calm
there will be peace,
There will be silence
just give us release.

So I take up my pencil
I take up my pen,
I put them on paper
I write them and then...

I sit back in silence
and start to feel sane,
But then these damned words
they start over again.
