I am a poet for one day. Why is it hard to hold a pen and brush the mind to see the pain? it feels heavy— like air pressing the chest. I want to feel the gentleness of each line So I can write every day. i know It is only a wave— It stays for a minute and then goes away. Why am i afraid of this wave disappearing? Why can’t I hold it, let it stay? That’s why I can't be a poet every day

A Poet For One Day
I am a poet for one day. Why is it hard to hold a pen and brush the mind to see the pain? it feels heavy— like air pressing the chest. I want to feel the gentleness of each line So I can write every day. i know It is only a wave— It stays for a minute and then goes away. Why am i afraid of this wave disappearing? Why can’t I hold it, let it stay? That’s why I can't be a poet every day
