He has trouble letting go of bad memories It’s the only thing that keeps him company Some people say he needs therapy He whispers to himself daily
He doesn’t want to get rid of the pain It reminds him life is just a game But when the soul can’t take the strain That’s when the fragile heart breaks
This happens to be the start of his art He creates poetry so he doesn’t fall apart He shares it with us so we can say “**** man, I feel the same”
That is his aim, it helps him to stay sane Reaching out to those who can relate This could be his claim to fame But writing will always be his main escape
I like to think the main goal for poets is to make those who are reading FEEL and lately it has made me reflect a lot on why I write and what I do it for so this is my ode...to myself
