Eat my words

I write my words in journals
Locked away for none to see.
Trace the words and mark the sentences.
Read Memorize Repeat. 

Each day I add entries
Expanding my collection
Ever changing forever bettering
Read Memorize Repeat.

I listen to the footsteps
Of strangers around me
Inspired by their sounds
Read Memorize Repeat 

I look at the world in a nostalgic manner
Creating pieces of art to flow together
Once my art is finished I begin my ritual
Read Memorize Repeat 

Journal after journal the same story unfolds
My actions never change
They never stray away
Read Memorize Eat.

I consume my art
Forever binding my weapon
The words are forever with me
Read Memorize Repeat
