Useless Poet

If you could see what wreaks havoc within my head You’d just drop dead Because it’s a little bit too weird for you If you could read the words I wrote They’d just get lodged in your throat You’d choke And since I'm too weird you probably wouldn't want me to save you You see My thoughts spill through an ink vein And this paper kindly takes the pain You may believe that I’m insane But I just let my imagination reign While your brain Burdens the world with an ugly stain But you're cool and I'm lame I'm a no name I’m a useless poet And I damn sure know it And I would show it If your vulnerable heart could control it I’m a useless poet It's my only talent It’s a friend repellent And it’s damn elegant

I love that last stanza, its masterful, crafted to flow just right, and it does. There are so many who have forgotten how to appreciate poetry as a work of art, they can't even take time to smell the roses because they are too busy smelling up the world with selfishness, woe be unto them.

I enjoyed this one Kyle, the only ones who would find you a "useless poet" are those that have no "use" for poetry, I think you're a fine poet
