Write poetry defiantly
don’t think about how they will take it
don’t think about what will appear
in the comments under your post
it doesn’t matter who says what
they chose to step into your mind
they can criticize your rhymes
or worse yet, try to console you…
thinking they could reach you through the pain
Poetry is a product of the tortured mind
great lyrics and great lines
interwoven in the fabric of time
not for the job interview
and not to impress the status quo
not to hide and not to digress…
Hit straight to the heart
your own is brimming with screams
of disagreement and no where to put it
Your heart which breaks over
and over again with no where
to lay it and no where to rest
Write poetry defiantly and truth will appear
intermixed with delusion and dreams
of yourself freer
It is the only home for your mind
the only place for a poet to scream
a tainted place for the readers who dream…
What do they expect?
the ones who come to you
to watch you bleed your soul raw
and react when you are through…
Everyone loves a poet
they are hypnotized by the bleeding
they are not sure what is real
or what is poetic license
But that is for us to know
each one of us in turn
the poets write the words
the readers make them heard
