The true poet and ink

My emotions are the true poets...

The unsung heroes that give many others understanding -

The heroes that valiantly slay their feelings of alienation.

My thoughts and feelings narrate my poems...

Not I.

They own the stories,

Not I...

They transform my words from the words of a sixteen year old into...

Art

And goosebump-evoking music to the lonely.

They are the ones that illustrate all the imagery,

Not I...

They eloquently wield the paint brush and utilize each bristle to delineate beauty that only the worthy will perceive.

My fears and anxieties -

They are the ink...

The ink that runs out

And magically comes back...

The ink that gives me reason to write

When it flows and gushes...

Ebbs and spills

Onto receptive lakes of paper.

It is the ink that runs out

That drips... Until nothing's left -

But before emptiness

It looks like a thin thread

As it makes its way to paper...

A thin thread of hope that's futile -

And makes some of my words

Empty.... Worthless.. And un-poetic.
