Put them on the paper
Maybe they would disappear like vapour
Wasn't sure if this was the right place
Maybe I had left too much space
It had been done before
But now it seemed like a chore
On the other hand I was sure someone would want some more
But then I felt like throwing everything on the floor
Was starting to wonder if this was something to deplore
But wait there was still more
Someone had gone before
Not really a new idea but rather a flaw
Maybe this time I would score
It was a difficult choice that's for sure
Put them down but it wasn't before I looked around
Maybe I might think of something profound
Whenever I thought I something it only seemed to be a sound
It was probably time for a new round
It was always just words turned around
Something to be churned and written down
None of them were new
Couldn't even think of a few
They had all been taken before
Stolen and then returned like passing through a revolving door
Even if I thought it and placed it on the page
It had already been done in a bygone age
They had all been selected even if later rejected
Written but then returned only to be waiting for another turn
It was like something earned
But even then none of us had learned
These were just thoughts that at times were blurred
But we keep writing never perturbed
They are just manifestations of things we have observed
Ideas that we keep reserved
Thoughts that we continue having undettered
I used some words
