Leak out emotion
soak it into page,
call me poet
praise my work.

Slay creativity,
give birth to the mundane.
Make shelter inside the box
for I fear to venture outside.

Endless words of tears and sadness
that the father only begets,
endless comments with claims of greatness,
harbor false satisfaction


Write with pain and dark,
heavy heart forcing the pen.
Originality forgotten in past lore
to no resurface amongst these works.

Call me poet
even deviant.
just not different
for I am not.
To some this may be to you while others it is not.

Brilliant, just brilliant. I couldn't have written that better myself.
It expresses what a poets is when he/she writes, I think.
