Better for the Writing
by Joe CramerAll the fears I have
Pour out on the pages.
No one knows,
I never show
How I truly feel.
I am better for the writing,
The penning of a poem,
A phrase, a word or two.
This is exactly what I do
In the description of my life.
My fears are displaced
At the onslaught of day,
Though I never truly escape
Them in this self-same way.
Still flowing onward
I write more and more.
(It is the written word I adore.)
I cannot begin to think
Of what it would be like
Not to read, not to write.
Somehow, it will all turn out right.
I am forever better for the writing. 07/20/2009 Posted on 07/20/2009
