Life of a Poet

some people say that poets always write about the sad 
and everyone thinks its bad
just to let you know 
the words always seem to glow

through peots eyes
these are things that they can deny
the true feeling a poet has
is discovered by looking through the past

the lives of the poet
bleeds through as those from a bullet
writing a poem is how they live
people just cant seem to forgive

whats in a poets head
may never be determined by what lies will come ahead
until the day when people understand 
you have no right to lend them a hand
