It's Okay

My mind is cluttered
Thoughts are spilling over
My pen is a drunk
But my words are sober

Paper wiped clean
with a dirty eraser
I'm putting down raw emotions
straight without a chaser

I'm learning me
In small
small swipes
between the blue lines

My poems are not 
always full of sunshine
but that's okay
that's what makes 
them mine

I LOVE this! Brilliantly done - the words and style we use may not always be pleasing to everyone but that's what makes them uniquely ours. Well said Chris! Well written.
