Poet

Great poets are often times born

Into dysfunctional families with

Sometimes brutal fathers .

Their addiction to drink began early

Intensified after growing up

Burdened and lost

In the oppressive , eccentric

Drudgery of the everyday

Husds and bustle .

They’re helpless cases

Often neglected and overlooked

Looked in a life pinching needs ,

And crawling through the dark

And narrows.

They’re sick of the days ,

But impatient of the despite

Left with no choice but to write

Because the voices are loud

And no one listens .
