Damn Poets
Damn Poets
So smug in Their vision
of what you have missed,
what you can't see with blinded eyes.
Damn Poets
So satisfied in Their expression
of what you did see but cannot say
as they have.
Damn Poets
So confident in Their knowledge
that even as you Damn Them
you secretly wish to join Them.
William's Whimsical Words:
You must try not to despise yourself for it, in spite of what you have been taught.
