A Poet's Pain

Metaphorically it's an illusion,
Of those who metaphorically used him,
But this grand intrusion,
Is what's infused within.

But similarly the simile,
Comparing him to me,
Through statements using set words,
And phrases that tend to hurt.

An onomatopoeia,
Mixed with what we're made of,
Noises we make,
When our faith begins to shake.

Maybe it's symbolic,
Symbolize the alcoholic,
Forget what I call it,
Children no longer frolic.

Words and letters and years,
Degrade me to less than tears,
Follow with my fears,
As I'm looked down on by my peers.
