Impassionate

I’m a poet by nature

And all that I do

It may put me in danger

But that’s what I do

I write from inside

I prey on my mind

My thoughts have to die

To express what I hide

Impassionate words

Unrehearsed lyrics

My mind has been burned

These words mar my spirit

Like locusts over crops

Or a plague on humanity

Swiftly I drop

And resent all this harmony

I write from inside

At least I try to

My thoughts must die

So I can feel my cries too

For impassionate lyrics

And broken verses

Are all that I’ve written

And all that I’ve spoken
