For a long time I believed poetry was lyrics for those who could not sing
And I was consumed by what I could not compose
My brave soul possessed uncourageous lips
And I despised the small quiet characters that seemed to sum up my existence
But art is not meant to be taken but gifted
And although I perceive my poems as weak
I hope you find power within them
For my words in this lifetime
are best absorbed written
