Poetry is my shield
It’s how my thoughts are relieved
Some days I feel ten feet tall
Some days I feel quite small
But it’s better to fell either or all
Than to just feel nothing at all
So I write the writings that elicit
If I don’t I sense a guilt of deceit
As if the art will somehow wilt
Leaving my throat all but slit
A freedom that will come without delay
But a cost that others will have to pay
So instead of going through the motions
Poetry is how I kill these emotions
Before they dig deep in my mind’s hive
And quietly burry me alive
