They say a picture speaks a thousand words

The more I write the more I lose hope in it.

They say a picture speaks a thousand words

But I'd rather my words painted a million pictures.

I want to paint a picture with every line like the world is mine for the taking

Let the sun shine in so it can shine upon the painting that's what I ask

To read without words and paint without a brush

They say some words can move mountains

But I'd rather my words made them crumble to the ground

Like an exhaled breath on a blank sheet of paper I want to move you

Not simply move but I want to throw you

Beyond your control I want you lost in my words, while you try to follow the birds they fly faster so you give up and stay lost.

Like the frost on cold winters morning I want to crack this world wide open

Like a drunken mistake with a broken trojen I want my words to be the failed abortion

An accident turned into something beautiful

perhaps then the mountains will fall

They say a midget on a giants shoulders can see further than the giant

So let my words be the giant, understand them more than they themselves because I can't

I'll throw you into the air and leave it to god to catch you because you deserve to feel something real

Like Jesus' final meal, I want you to savor every moment because it might be the last 

A distant memory to be remembered as a time in the past.

I don't really want that. I want you to feel something beautiful for the rest of your life after experiencing a homespun tale of depression and hate

Like a worm on a hook for bait I don't want you to fear

Fear with every breath you take for every decision you make for the rest of your life because that's no way to live

I want you to rise up and scream with every fiber of your being because you feel something

something beautiful.

They say the sky is the limit

But I want my words to take control of the cockpit and fly you to the moon

They try so hard but as if you're immune I hear nothing. 

Like I've not written a single word I feel myself fading

But like third in line for the throne I sit waiting.

Like every word I write is just another method of avoiding the fact I'm wasting time

if only I could shine like the twinkle in god's eye. 

I say god... 

I'm an atheist. I want my words to be god. 

I want my words to be the god that refuses to condemn those whom stay true

I know I won't be able to but I want my words to give a gift of gorgeous mayhem

They say a picture speaks a thousand words

I'll let them.
