“Hear the tragedy in my words See tears flow from my pen A poetic discourse sprawling free As I’m feeling fragile once again
Dark ink crawls across the page Revealing emotions I refuse to feel Black splashes of truth from the ether Preventing denial of the real
Chinks in the armor released by rhyme Opening the valve to feelings unleashed Spilled onto the paper without obstruction Poetry responsible for defenses breached
No stopping or containing the lines Released from within unbidden So as you read my verbalized pain Recall this was meant to stay hidden”
