Words and thoughts corralled within our brains
Seeking to escape the darkness for a chance at life
Misguided mutterings of things that cannot be
Sliding silently from tongues tied or bitten
Fingers poised to take the lead and react
But paralyzed by modern convention
Expressions lost behind a veil of unborn paragraphs
Writings without purpose, wisdom without bounds
Masterpieces succumb to issues that don’t matter
Documents that feed the mouth but not the soul
Creativity gives way to nothingness
The banality of life carries on
