My Words Poem by Paula Puddephatt

words
my words
take them
take
aspects of my soul
the pain
the gain
the going insane
a few random words overheard
take them
or leave them
my poems
my blog posts
my words
dark words
vibrant ones
those that reveal
parts of me
that you never knew
existed
misunderstand them
hate them
resent them
love them
crave them
refuse and reject them
dissect them
respect them or not
they are words
only words
and maybe they will never
be enough
but they are
something
and they are mine
so I offer them
offer and share
these words
that you read
or these words
that you don't
