There are times when the words cannot be written.
They come from a place of such desperate, despairing dark that their bare bleakness would blight the page
They carry with them such a toxic, tainted, tortured, tangle of lies and half-truths that I cannot allow their poison to escape.
They would be ugly and would show me as ugly to you
They would be careless and would show me as negligent to you
They would be unfair and they would show me as unworthy to you.
I cannot write these words.
They will have to lie deep in my soul
and slowly corrode.

write it, speak it, say it….sometimes grit makes the best poetry anyway. Who cares what anyone else thinks. I for one am interested. Sometimes polish and shine is overrated.

I think your words are special no matter how you say them. I’m in agreement with April, you should speak them. Sometimes those words are the most beautiful.

They should be purged… Lest they corrupt and poison the rest of your thoughts and words… You don’t have to post them… Burn them if you don’t want them seen…

But it feels so much better to let them out. Do you think me ugly because I write such words?

Completely understandable. Better to clear out the muck than regret what you put out there. 🙂

It’s the funny thing about words. They give shapes and sounds to a thought and give it a life of its own…
These ugly thoughts laced with emotions but no words have no permanence outside of me. I do forget them in time. If I give them a structure and form by writing them down, even if I then destroy them, I will remember creating them ugly and making myself so. If I say the words, their sound will haunt me for the same reason.
Yes. Keep silent.
So well written D. So achingly, painfully, human.
