God gave me a gift.
Yes
Its true.
But god gave me a burden.
Yes
That's just as true.
A gift to see the wonders
To see the words
A burden to see the horrors
the pain.
What most people don't realize
Is that poetry is a dangerous thing
It can be used as a tool
A weapon
It can touch your soul
like nothing else can
it can make you happy
Like nothing else can
or it can make you doubt
everything you've ever believed in.
(This poem is going to be featured in The America Library of Poetry's "Eloquence." So excited!)
