#honestpoetry poems on Hello Poetry

dead poet Dec 8

the 'allure' of writing always starts with fancy words,
and ends after one sacrifices them at the altar of truth.

if you still must rely on words like 'allure' to make your point,
you're not ready.

remember, craftsmanship is mere virtuosity -
a great skill that may hide the lack of true perception in an artist.

now, before you go on to google 'virtuosity',
please write an honest line.

i feel as though my body is no longer mine
a stranger in my own home

a b a n d o n e d * and *b r o k e n

isn't it funny how the one place i'm supposed to feel safest
is the one that does the most d a m a g e
