These Words

But you see

What they say is true

It is true that I am free

It is true that I'm fine

But you see

You must understand

There is a problem on my palms

There are boulders that pin

There is a churning within

There are hands gripping my wrists

There is a bright light

Making me late

For a very important date

There are voices

Singing with me

Singing for the years

Singing for the moment

But you see

You must read it as I do

There is a problem within these lines

There are words that lie

There is inspiration in your eyes

There are poems to escape

But you see

These words

They lie

They steal

They hope

They dream

They fail to cope

They let off steam

But they are words

On a sheet of crumpled paper

On a slice of nature

On something much bigger than I

These words

Are only words. 

Author's Note

Yeah, yeah I quoted Eminems "Sing for the Moment"
Just a side note so I don't get a pissy "you're plagiarizing!" comment.

this i dont think is up to your standard. you normally have me by the neck with your word but only began to grab me by the last stanza dont get me wrong but it is still a graet poem but it just isnt "AleyshaRosa".

great read =)

You know, I was thinking the exact same thing...
Sigh maybe my AleyshaRosa is fading...

Thanks, Roshan

[Faffy]

you are most welcome Aleysha but we are only human and we have our "off days" sometimes and at the end of the day you are still an amazing poet, that will never go away. so sure this may not be your best but you will bounce back =). "There is inspiration in your eyes"

-Roshan

[AleyshaRosa]

I suppose this is true. It just feels odd to read such a.. well not bland poem. But when I read it it feels blah. Like I was in a different zone. Thank you Roshan. I appreciate you using one of my own verses to up build.

-AleyshaRosa (duh) =P

New here and so glad that you're one of the first writers I have stumbled across in my short time. So inspirational. Like Eminem himself. ;)
