The Tone of a Poet

The poet conditions herself to self blame for she writes of life's ups and downs a sense of bored gents from town to town for she hides her grief tucked away underneath a torn soul in which only she knows well you see most great poets are only known after hell ah the agony a true poet lives just to be heard unselfishly she gives of truth despair and in the end who cares about a girl poet full of gloom to be shown as Shakespeare's sister she hasn't a room of her own
