A Poet's Shadow

I have no knowledge more worthy than you Though understanding is another matter I have no emotional bonds that construe Nor hold an opinion from heard chatter I have sought only to see not deceive Comprehend through reason and sanity I have written of worlds and make-believe Most of my poems are insanity There is a purpose for such jumbled thought As it releases my visions in mind The tortured wisdom that's lived not bought The violent passage through time to remind I claim all wounds from the breath I borrow And display my scars from times of sorrow 8/12/17 contest The Poet's Shadow
