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
