Death To Poets!

Folder: 
Me

A poet is a true warrior

Bearing their raw, naked soul

To the reader's scrutiny

To which they've no control



Why must we die

In order to truly breathe?

Our voices go unheard and unacknowledged

No matter what we achieve.



Poets are painters

Transfixing beauty onto blank paper

Of ebony with cobalt lines

Begging to be filled with words to savor



For all eternity.
