Words To Write

i sit here thinking of things to write,
looks like it could be another long night,
i write of love, and i write of hope,
i write about drink, and i write about dope,
i write about things that come into my head,
and i write about things , that i have not said,
a lot of things, i just lock away,
but they are not away, away to stay,
things keep flashing at the back of my head,
so i write them down and free them instead,
theres so many words that run through my mind,
but peace is the thing, i am trying to find
