The Poet

While the rest of the world,
Weighed her down.
Behind her pen,
She wishes to be found.

Behind her pen,
She's bound to confide.
From every little thing,
Nothing to hide.

words in her head,
There she found her escape.
Weaving a world,
Out of scrape.

Beneath her pillowcase flows
Rivers she tried to hide
Behind every rhyme
She tried to hide

In her own thoughts,
She learned to float.
White lies up she brought,
As hard as she fought

Hanging by a thread,
Everything felt patched.
Picking everything,
Made out from scratch.

words her mouth can utter,
Holds a pen pointing to herself
Dull as ever
Maybe that's why the words always stutter.

"The rain is going to end soon."
The wind whispers
as if reassuring Her.
"After all what's left to wither?"

As my words reach those who need me,
I need them to reach out for me as well.
For I long for saving
From this damning hell.

Letting my pen make the noise,
On my behalf.
In-between the words
I found my other half

How my soul bleeds for
every verse i write.
Stitching words,
Making it rhyme.

How my heart aches
For every word i write.
How my tears ricochet
From the moment i see light

After all that's what poets do;
Their purpose.
To tive,to die,to drown,
To feel every open wound
And to write everything down.
