The worst thing about being a poet
Is that you're drawn to pain
The pain and fear inspire
Great works and wonders
For those of us good with words
Some who are lucky
Can write well of all things happy
Those rare few
Most everyone I know
Write of pain
Pain and fear
Memories
Or we compare, criticize
This crap society of ours
Emotions fill us
We feel to the fullest
We might get scared
But it's not the pain we fear
We realize that pain leads us
Leads is to discover great rhymes
A nice flow of words
Words that help ease our minds
