I lived words and poetry, But things changed, my words got spooked and learned to hide&#8230;.and I stopped talking. I hate the apologetic looks when I battle to find a word, while the other person jump in and finish my sentence for me. I didn&#8217;t forget the word, I know exactly what it is&#8230;..it&#8217;s just my brain, not connecting fast enough with the language part, to give me the correct word to use.. Anyway, no one&#8217;s fault but annoyed me enough to keep silent. It is, what it is&#8230;..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">So I got this idea a couple of nights ago. I had some cropped up words, but my mood was too shitty to attempt to blog, so I started a poem to get it out of me.. I decided to post it here. I&#8217;ve always been too shy to share my poetry but WTF, this page is more like a glorified journal, rather than a blog, so I might as well share it. To the one or two reading this, please take note&#8230;..I write words, to say what I feel. I write words, to say what I am too scared to say. It might not rhyme and it might not be good, but it&#8217;s my words, and I call it poetry&#8230;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">I think I hear a muffled thought!<br>Nope&#8230;.it&#8217;s just a loud silence<br>echoing through the halls of Fluff,<br>constructed in my skull.<br>It&#8217;s been growing&#8230;..the Fluff.                                                                                                                                     Creeping deeper, getting denser, absorbing&#8230;..<br>what&#8217;s left of my identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">At first, I didn&#8217;t notice&#8230; I didn&#8217;t see.<br>I was tangled in a web of white coats.<br>feverously teaching me, how to walk,<br>how to talk. How to be&#8230;..<br>But I was too busy fighting the war<br>between denial and truth,<br>Waged by my obsession.<br>Destined to end only in Death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">And ye,t I sit all day. Waiting. Listening.<br>Hoping&#8230;.to hear a thought again.<br>I can feel the cloud of Fluff<br>filling up spaces,<br>growing heavy, greedily sucking,<br>getting fat, on my personality&#8230;..<br>Will this&#8230; Will this be my destiny?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, this is something I haven&#8217;t done in a while&#8230;.and sadly, it used to be my passion in life.
