A Poet Knows

to be a poet, is a desolate thing, you have to have been hurt, by many of things, you have to have failed, alot in your life, to know your emotions, and how to feel when you write,. you cannot just say pretty words and rhyme, it's not about rhythm it's not about time, its only about the feelings you see, for poetry is you and poetry is me, but one thing is for sure, you really have to know, that if you're a true poet, your emotions will flow, your ink like tears, upon paper of fears, your eyes see the wonder, and feel the pain of years, you hold these truths from the very start, because being a poet, flows from your heart
