All around me are words

All around me are words,

That won't stop bothering me.

All around me are words,

In this world of troubles and odds.

If you can't escape them and try to face them,

You still get drowned into the muds.

All around me are words.

Pushing me into this struggle.

To write, to be heard.

To be safe and not get hurt.

All around me are words,

I put in lines and stanzas just to understand myself.

All around me are people, greedy for themselves.

I am me and you are you, you can't understand me like myself.

And all these words chiming in my head,

These words pouring out of my pen lid.

As emotions that only me would understand and hid.

And when the words around me are long gone,

I would still love to write while having fun.

Alone.
