This is What You've Missed
-
They say that writing poetry is
a way to express your feelings.
Well, then, this world must be pretty depressed
because every one I've read has sent me reeling.
-
I see
cries of pain and black India ink splattered all over the screen
I see
lost individuals who speak of life as if that's the only thing they've never seen.
-
And in my mind's eye I can picture clearly
rainbow-colored drops falling from above
because corruption is never black
only sweet and bitter love
-
And their tears wash over me in salty waves
and I see poetry for what it really is
It's when you tear out your emotions and tack them to paper.
to show the happy people what they've missed.
