Poet boy 

Just wants to 

help people 

With his poetry. 
📖

Really, 

He wants to... 

Because he's got nothing else 

That he knows of

That he can offer the world. 
📖

So every time he's had to 

He mutilates the three-headed beast 

Of self-doubt, 

Stabs the heart of the anxiety snake 

And murders the artist of fears of failure - 

Just so he could have enough courage 

To share a poem... 

And someone tells him

Something that seems more than adulation:

When someone tells him 

His poem was more than just art 

For their soul to admire and critic 

But actually a trigger of epiphanies 

And revelations. 

Or words that embrace them as they go through a pain 

That no one can seem to see or understand. 
📖

Poet boy's life 

Makes sense... 

To him

As Happiness 

Paints a smile on his face 

And his body 

Falls victim to the sweet enthralling 

Multitudinous appendages

Of eustress hormones
