Dress Up With Words

As weak as I am,
As strong as I seem
I dress up with words,
That fit my needs

You’ll never quite know,
What I’m really about
A facade of persona,
That you’ll never doubt

I’ll be a pillar when,
Inside I’ve crumbled
Calm, cool,
When my head screams and cries

Fine, when I know an unjust was done
Diplomatic when,
I’m raging inside

You will hear how beautiful life can be,
As I try my own self to convince
I write without, hesitation of hope,
Words of belief,
Are scribbled,
With nary a wince

Our lines, our stanzas,
Our poems of life
We instill faith,
For those who read

While inside we are really calling out,
For ourselves to also believe

  🙂 That’s all it takes, a thought, a word, a feeling. The rest flows from the heart.

Truly insightful as usual, Heather. I’ve believed words into children others believed would never speak. Sometimes the magic happens 🙂

The poet’s words are never true or false; merely the reflection of the Light from the angle the poet is toward the Sun . . .

The reflection of the writer’s soul is not to be judged, or critiqued, but merely accepted as the shade of the truth with which God blessed that day the writers pen. 🙂

Yes (he says as his face turns 10 shades of red), every now and then I get particularly verbose. It’s an ailment I have suffered from ever since I was a young lad living completely separated from other people. Perhaps I read too much. Some people say I’m a Romantic, and they never mean it in a good way. Sorry if I went overboard, I often do without meaning to. 😦

  PLEASE, say you’re not going to nominate me for anything. I really don’t do awards, and I don’t want to turn down one of my FAVORITE poets. 🙂
