The Life of Words

Pen down on paper

Words flow down

Forget they were there

Shadows lurk behind

Now visible, on paper

I knew they were there

Tucked behind memories

Words that push away the pain

The remembered forgetten

The life behind the life

The hidden world

The life I lived while living

It’s there

I always feel it back there

I always try to forget it

But the life, the words are there

I can’t forget them

I can’t ignore them

I can’t change them

Just listen

All I can do

All I will do

Is write and listen

And write and listen

And hope that from the words

Something will change

And

Something will fix itself
