reflection

the words refuse to be put down and trapped on paper
they prefer to peruse my mind
taunting me with their inability to be captured
I hate them
they will not leave me alone
incessantly screaming
raw

I force them down
ignoring their pleas

they will not stop
cannot stop
always more of them
I hate them
I hate how they will never be captured as I see them

deformed in their attempts to escape
