I am not the poet
The poet is not me
The poet is not captured
The poet is free
The poet reaches in to wrestle the
Pen away from me
In the mist of the struggle
Comes forth poetry
Floating with the dust settling
Internally
Internalizing
The identical twin in me
I am not the poet
The poet is not me
What you see is me standing
The poets behind me
The poet is not captured
The poet is free
I struggle to keep the poet
From penning me
I blackout
I'm tapped out
Back to light
Armed to write
