there is a poem inside me.

i'll write you a poem  ,not because i want the poem

but because i want the poem removed

like cancer ,like a tumor

                     it consumes me ,slowly

 

i draw in ink through my eyes ink  through my eyes.

desperation   thick in my veins

    'get it out'    it consumes me;

there is a poem inside me;

               ,i need it out

it is as

  a desease;it affects

  ;every aspect of my mind

it will not sleep

it does not sleep when i sleep

it consumes me it whispers it screams;

         'let me out'

and i pull the ink

through my eyes

put the pen to my page,

tear 'poetry' out from my mind

and lay it down in all honesty

to die

 

thrown to the relentless;

truth, and the critics

the poem will die

no deeper meaning

the addiction returns;

there is a poem inside me;

 

i need it out,

it consumes me.
