These words were trapped

Inside me

As thoughts

Ideas with plea

Until they snapped

Rubber bands

Or chains breaking loose,

Wanted, misunderstood

Running

From their confines

Free from the insane designs

Of my mind

Rubber bands all the same

Snapping back

To another cage

Stuffed and stifled

On a stage

Puppets displayed

Arranged and portrayed

Reused and reborn

Utterly torn, forlorn

Stuck waiting

To be read

Again, again

Someday they'll grow tired

Someday they'll be dead
