I am not sad, i am a poet

some days i sit and wallow in my words
i dress in my free word and tuck rhymes behind my ears
i read my poetry to the bedroom mirror
i cry with the violets in my garden.
i bleed pastels and paint with shades of blue and red
i drink tea to the sounds of my own sorrow
i find comfort slipped in between my pain
the shadows feel like hugs as depressing as that sounds
i do not find my sadness sad
i flick through my passion and truth like pictures that i've taken in my favourite places
at just the right moment i capture the words to say
i wash away my new tears with the salt of old ones
