Poets
Poets are liars
Hiding what we mean to say
Between lines you were never meant to read.
Poets are cowards
Twisting painful truths
Behind beautiful words and sly contradiction.
Poets are fools
Who yearn to scream their secrets
And still have them go unseen.
I am a liar, a coward, a fool
I'd write a million and one poems
Before I'd tell you the truth.
