The Poet


Writing words that search for meaning
For the things I feel inside
I expose the secret part of me
I tried too long to hide
Behind the smile that’s always there
Inside these walls of stone
Sheltered from the winds and rain
That cut me to the bone
An actor in the play I wrote
Who cannot play the part
Undone by my own weaknesses
Afraid to show my heart
A restless heart and lonely soul
Defenseless on this road
Revealing all the scars and pain
So weakened from the load
But if the words I give in rhyme
Help make another whole
It makes the journey all worthwhile
And lifts my weary soul
