When I Read Your Poetry

As I read your poetry I wonder if it's true Do the demons that help in rhyme Really have a hold of you And is the one you say you love Not returning you the favor In the poems that you pen Is this all your life's behavior Does your father really raise his fist While your mother screams As alcohol flows freely in your life Or is it just poetry Are you on the verge of suicide And do you truly cut yourself Do you feel that worthless in your life Is what you write a cry for help As I read your poetry It often sets me off to wonder Do you write about yourself Or do you write about another
