The Poet

By odetobarbie




falling head over heels into
one's words sung by thoughts
dull, fast, worthless

pretentious typing
succumming never to
truth, beauty, force

quiet humming machine
never hearing melodious voices
hate, pain, despair

ego preaching prose touch skin
already drowned by millions
basic, typical, rants

stupidity forming around words
cramped in the Rhyme Box
ridiculed, suffocated, bored to tears
