I read today
My own thoughts and feelings
Told so well by others
I tried so hard
to put into words
Those most basic of emotions
and found my writings
wanting
I measured and edited
ripped and tore up pages
I found them all wanting
I read today
what I wished could be mine
I realized that today
I may not write what I feel
but, I read what I feel
and maybe
therapy is not only found in talking
but listening also
poets in pathetic
they told so well
what I feel
I read today
the poets in pathetic
