poetry to me

April 23, 2016

the pen is mightier than the sword
so i stabbed one in my chest
and let the words bleed out

 

my tongue is clumsy and heavy

when words matter most
my voice trembles and shakes
even at the thought of speaking
my throat refuses to function
although it screams for understanding

 

so i write with my blood,

i write with my life.

tbh i have no idea what makes a true poet, but this is who i am as a poet (if i can even be called one), and this is how i write.
