The Write of the Emo Poet

The Write of the Emo Poet

Of course is doomed to fail

Yet even so they raise their pen

Against the world to rail

Through glasses fashioned out of angst

They view a graying sky

And know that it will only end

Upon the day they die

With blood black ink they write the words

That cause the moon to cry

And tell of all the things gone wrong

But never answer why

 

The Write of the Emo Poet

Is dipped in bitter sweet

Its forged on long walks through the fog

And drizzle on the street

For every thing that might be good

They find some hidden wrong

Which others cannot understand

Alone they sing their song

In mournful tones that rip the heart

And bind even the strong

Their only joy is knowing of

The sorrows of the throng
