I don’t feel compelled to gather
writing is what I rather
words I can vanquish
rescript whatever I wish
turn a hero into a villain
unravel each civilian
give a heart
to an unknown part
with a pen
I can fabricate a friend
dig a grave
when they misbehave
within the words I gain a sense of control
out here each emotion takes a toll.
Thanks for reading.
