my therapist told me
to write out my feelings
that perhaps
bleeding my words unto parchment
should suppress the urge to simply
bleed out
but i find that
words never do justice
to how i want these things to say
and these letters
don't support the weight
of my thoughts
but i often find
that the spaces in between
the letters and lines say more
as do the eraser bits
that mark my paper
and the scratched out words
that i try to destroy
they say more for my own mind
than i ever
could
-n.c
