If I wanted to be popular
I would twist my words
If I wanted to be strong
I would take up swords
If I wanted status
I would meet with lords

But that's not what I want

I want my words to
Spill onto the page
I want my words to
Destroy my cage
I want my words to
Get rid of my rage

These aren't senseless words

I want you to look
To see the feelings behind jumbled thought
I want you to look
To realize we shouldn't have fought
I want you to look
To realize I'm no longer caught

Your words don't capture me

I want
