I write what feels right,
Still hiding—words are my disguise.
Poetry is just a form,
Like other arts, I con.
I con hearts,
I con songs,
I con beauty—
I con everything that comes along.
I am a writer—a stealer, a thief,
I write what the world chooses to snub.
I write to see that smile—
That embrace of warmth, soft yet wild.
A mere observer, I call it a game,
Bringing the cough up, even if others find it lame.
