Poetically Defined
I write in rhyme, to depict how I feel inside
feelings I'd otherwise conceal in my mind
In this race against time, we all hope that we can shine
but I'm less concerned with that, as I am just getting by
It's never been about winning awards or a prize
it's about letting go of all that's eating me alive
it's a way to explain things I've been known to hide
it's my way to escape pain I'm prone to disguise
but some times, when I just can't describe
what's behind these eyes of mine
tears will imply what my smile will deny
and that's the fact that I'm just dying inside
So in the event of my demise
this is my chance to be poetically defined
and may my teardrops punctuate the end of every line.
