Words build up - The RavenA Poem by The_Ancient_Rock Trouble, trouble, trouble... Words build up inside my mind... Creating explosions in my neurons, Bursting out like a breached dam, The raging waters, flood the land.
I must, think… I must speak… Such is the duty, of the Meek.
Alas… my friend… I feel a Shakespeare in me… A bloody Shakespeare… And I must at times… shake the spear.
Don’t laugh or make a mockery… Really… nothing funny, about it… It’s like all the voices of the Dead… Are always, crying out in my head.
There is an army inside me… A whole legion… Demons and Angels… Driven to perdition.
Ah… I could relate with some… Awful b******s that often come… But… it’s really not that fun… Look man… I’ve done, some.
The road to absolute nowhere… Little boy, little girl, no need to be… SCARED!!! Look upon the berries so RED… And in the meadows, rest your pretty head.
Ah… Poe, my good old friend… We really do need to make a stand!!! Cry out, revolution, demand!!! Maybe, spill our blood in the hot sand.
My friend this is no joke… And if you do… like to poke… I may forever hope… That you happen to choke!!!
You had… to awake the beast!!! I was doing so well… in my rest. Not much for release… Nah… never really was… the BEST!!!
Words build in my mind… They cry in my mind… They are born… I write them down, They die… Words… Bursting through my mind…
Lives… people… faces… I can’t ever forget… Or leave behind. Haunted forevermore… It has… left me sour and sore… Quoting the Raven… NEVERMORE!!!
Words build up whole Universes… Super-Novas… Blazing… Some may mean nothing… Others are… everything!!!
