I want to write a poem
To experience catharsis
Let sorrow and worry drip
Through keys to image of blank paper
Etching passionate letters

I want to write a poem
To distill this feel
Watered down to a part per million
Less harsh, less potent
As a trace serene

I want to write a poem
To make it go away;
Exhausted struggle
Takes its toll
Because I’m a drop of sunshine
Or so they all say.

I want to write a poem.
I want to write a poem.
