You Didn't Realize



Today someone asked me to

pour my heart out to a piece of paper.


They told me to treat ink like blood

and emotions like fuel to the

burning beauty within me (my soul).


They said to pen exactly how I felt,

but how does a poet dry of ideas,

experienced by years, write


about numbness without giving you

a piece from another lifetime?
