Of Poets II

Goddess gave me hands that were meant to write
The kind of poetry that would save you, bring you back to life.
She made me a lover who could give you some advice
On treading in darkness, determined to find the light.


I’m pretty dramatic.
I won’t lie, I really am and I can’t help it.
But now I focus in putting that energy into a performance
A healthier way to process all my emotions.
Besides, don’t you listen to poets
To hear elegant ways to deal with being broken?
Beautiful ways to deal with not being chosen?
To process emotions like loss and abandon?
Without having to be the one being vocal?
