A wish for words

By dumbone

Do not try to understand

Words are too heavy

...For me...

 

They can not be planned

 

I wish not them to be

A pre written scenario

I wish not them to be

…False…

 

 But a sincere image of me

I wish for them
a wish in a word

...free...

A wish for all words
...To be..

    I really like your take on that struggle to find words that are true and represent you. Words can drag us down but when we catch ourselves right,mother can be the most uplifting thing ever.

    "Of ME" perhaps, for an alternative ending, although somewhat conceited possibly, cheers!

    ...it may be the goal of all poets to define themselves in a poem. you have done so here...
