A poet may scribble
As much as she can
Yet still will she fail,
Pen only drivel,
And only prevail
When she knows herself first.
Forged by adversity,
Refusing to settle,
Discarding her worst,
Sharing her best,
Truth in her breast,
Testing her mettle,
From pretense she's free.
Fashioned by life
Tutored in strife,
In pain well rehearsed,
The artist's role playing:
Then, only then
Does she pick up her pen, saying
"Hear who I am in this verse!"
That's who I need
To read!
