DEFEATIST'S ATTITUDE

Folder: 
JOURNAL #28

his "WHISPER"

sweet tender shout

to me that it was

spoke so clearly

to me from the purest

realization to date

though poetry I may write

poet I may never fully

become

not to that impressive reach

of degree

one poem

penned by one incredible hand

in the span of years

ode within itself to such dedication

from this quagmire of thought

my soul can not so easily

swim free

so I've come to embrace such

unrestrained knowledge

writing as I do

just as he said

I write for me

giving away my fragments of soul truth

to an audience that will likely never

be

in such turmoil

my heart grieves

this so very real

possibility

the end
