A Little Something-Something

As I was sitting in a yearbook classroom filled with bright minds, I was approached by one in particular. We had met before, hung out a bit, and here we were again. The student wanted to share something with me, and I'm now sharing it with you. Enjoy.

                     What is life?

What are cars

What are clothes 

What is Mars 

What are toes

What is color

What is art

What is humor

What is start

I couldn't tell you what start is but I know it is a thing. Just another thing in this life of things and it is what I had to do at the beginning of this thing

But what is a thing you ask?

I don't think I could tell you what a thing is if I tried but I know I felt something when my best friend had died. 

Something deep down in my heart which appeared when I received the news which led me to consume myself in drugs & booze

What is pain

What is love 

What is disdain

What is above 

What are drugs 

What is booze

What are hugs 

What is a bruise

How do we know what is what 

It is truly a pain in the butt 

But we always figure out a way because without these things we would have nothing to say.  

The uncertainty is unreal but words is something one must feel 

Because words are power

Words are trust

Words are sour

Words are lust 

Words are a must

Words are wisdom

Words are strong 

Words are freedom 

Words are wrong 
Yet again words are always right because without words there would be nothing in sight. 
We would not be able to describe, express, inscribe, impress
Words are life but then again life is just a word and so is word. 
So what gives words these qualities they obtain, there is no real answer 
In anyone's brain.
But to me words are insane and 

They pack more punch than a speeding freight train. 
Because without words I would be nothing. 

Just a grain of sand on this fucking beach with no more importance than a god damn leach. 
Words let me reach 
Words make me big
Words are my niche 
Words can break me like a twig 
Because words are bigger than I'll ever be and they can't be used without a fee

Because life is a word 
And words are my life
