Another Sleepless Night

if these words were feelings
i will write until i can sleep
because i don't know what to feel
so i will make it up until it makes 
some clarity and calm

if these words were memories
i will type until i can think
of what the future will bring
some kind of hope
and open world

if these words were something
i will scribble in my notebook
until someone besides me
myself and i are touched by it

if these words were a cure
i will freestyle until there 
were no disease
or burden on the innocent

but i am not god
and my words
are but words
only words
