- Fancy Words -
The poems I write,
are not filled with fancy words,
and mind-boggling metaphors.
My poems come in the middle of the day,
at school or at work.
It comes in the middle of a cold shower,
on a humid night.
Fancy words did not work with me.
Somehow it didn't exist in my vocabulary.
Fancy words make my tongue twist
and make my stomach flip with nervousness.
Fancy words did not fit my image.
Even when I think of you,
the words come out simple and easy.
My poems are poorly written,
But it is the feelings hidden deep in me
inside a tightly closed jar,
and voicing it out by words,
keeps my heart beating.
