i used to write

i used to write
flipping the pages
scribbling throughout the night

sometimes hard to start
but the moment the spiget turnt 
overflow, gushing, flooding

unable to move as quick and the thoughts splayed across my mind
the pages turnt black
running out of space
out of light
to scribble it all down as it erupted 
uncontrollably 

trying to catch each thought
like finches free in the morning sunlight
hummingbirds happy to be seen
but cautious to be caught

what to catch and what to release
self judgement hovering about
speeding, racing to be heard

the pen stops
to take a drink of the air that surrounds
