For you, my dear poetry,
I will not stir up my emotions
I will create them.
For you, my dear poetry,
I will not lie,
I will create a fiction so delicate and complex
that it becomes my truth.
For you, my dear poetry,
I will not close myself off,
I will tear my body open
and let the demons take control.
For you, my dear poetry,
I will not become a better person,
I will bathe in my emotions
and revel in my despair.
For you, my dear poetry,
I will do anything.
