The secret life of poets

The poet lives two lives.

One on the outside,

And one in their mind.

 

When you look in their eyes

You could see an abyss.

 

If you looked long enough

You could sink into it.

 

But most people don’t see it.

 

Take the time to read the words, though,

And you would know for sure.

 

The poet lives in two different worlds.

A little escape from the madness.

Or maybe, into.
