Ink-stained fingers, trembling, unsure,

What if I were the paper, the parchment pure?

Lines etched upon my tender skin,

Would you read the pain I hold within?


A silent scream, a whispered plea,

What if my words were all you'd see?

In each stanza, a piece of me lies,

Lost in the echo of long-forgotten cries.


The poet's pen, a relentless guide,

What if I were the one to confide?

In every verse, a tear unseen,

Would you decipher what they mean?


A broken rhyme, a shattered verse,

What if my pain were a universe?

Trapped in the confines of poetic grace,

Lost in the depths of an endless space.


So here I stand, a poem unspoken,

What if my heart were left broken?

For once, let me be more than a line,

Let me be the poem, let my sorrow shine.
