No One Suspects the Poet

No one suspects the poet
To be the subject of the piece
The poet is expected the least

No one thinks the poet
would write about them self
When they write of no one else

No one assumes the poet
Ever needs help fighting
They just congratulate the writing

No one worries for the poet
Their hell-ridden heart
Is just a piece of the art

No one suspects the poet
To think they've reached their time
It's just the last line
