Hiding Well

Poets write to express their thoughts You see, once a sentence is written That thought is recorded forever With their writing, poets can be smitten Poets comment on world events Or sing the praise of someone Or they just write to vent Often times that can be fun Poets write about love most of all Because to that we can all relate Love can anyone stand tall A love gone badly can make you hate Most poets write from the heart But sometimes they fail Because from feeling they depart Having no feelings makes life an easy sail Poets express their outrage for the way things are While others may think that all is fine Although things can change real quick Poets try to keep up with the times If poets don’t express their feelings If they just live on neutral ground They’ll never need a healing So life will be safe all around As a poet I try to write what I feel But I’ll never open up all the way But my words will always be real As I express myself from day to day 5-28-06/RJH © 9-24-10/RJH
