traitors!

how come,
you can write things out
to try to make them go away
but your words just stare back and laugh
because they know that things will stay
very much the same because you'll never
really
be able to empty yourself onto paper
because it's not a sponge, only a mirror
yes you'll always be so full of something,
of thisthing or thatthing,
or of something else,
that you can barely take it
and with the mirror words laughing,
you get mad and throw down your pen
'cause you don't even want to write anymore
and you won't,
at least not until you can barely take it, again
