Is It Worth It

Dylan Thomas. Silvia Plath and Edgar Allen Poe These are names That we all know Fought their demons All their lifes A pen in their hand To give them advice Does the pain go away When the words are put down In for a penny In for a pound Only their ghosts Can shed the light All the heartache Was it worth the fight
