A Poem by me

Poets die early is something I’ve learnt today,

and honestly it’s not strange the realization that people

once broken, once damaged can make something beautiful

Edgar Allen poe ,freda callo, Shakespeare,

the creative types we know and love didn’t live long enough to watch their work flourish as much as it did,

and maybe that’s a good thing

if poets don’t feel pain

writers don’t feel heartache

painters don’t face struggles

who will ,who will carry the burden of generations on their back

if poets die young why do I write

why do I submit myself to something that can cause more pain in a world so fleeting

why do I self sabotage why don’t I take accountability

it’s like staring at the person who murdered my old self

the person who used anger to hide their pain

Who stopped trusting in her mothers name

But it’s ok poets die young anyway.
