Words Like A Bird
SweetPain

If a picture is worth a thousand words, is a word worth a thousand pictures?
 1
You would think so but, there does not
 2
seem enough pictures
 3
for these words.
 4
 
 
Like a slideshow in my mind
 5
I ponder every image
 6
every interaction
 7
every memory.
 8
 
 
But I wish, I could pinch insecurity
 9
and let these few words
 10
fly.

line 1 and 2 make no sense at all.
if 10 dollars if worth a thousand pennies, is a pennie worth 10 thousand dollars?
not only is it false, but then you go on to tell me that I WOULD THINK SO.
no, only you do.

ps- i do love the title!

gnormal thats not what im saying, referring to lines 1. the whole philosophy about a picture being a thousand words is just that, a philosophy which holds truth but is not the undeniable truth. i am just thinking of it in an upside down, obscure way. and line 2, its just like having a conversation, this is how i would talk to someone im not saying anyone would beleive it. im sorry man i am just in an agruementative mood. but thanks for the asking the question and spiking my interest. oh yes and thanks unknown!!!

great point you poet you. great point. try taking a picture of gravity. 1000 pictures. or try taking a picture of the inside of the camera you're holding, with the camera you're holding. impossible and pointless.

I bet you wrote this on the ninth didn't you?
