emotions meet your demise

for it is a poem that looks you in the eye

happiness

no longer causes madness

insanity

reality

clarity

personality

no longer

cookie cutter

scholarly

as my words are regrarded highly

loving

as my thoughts are beginning

to flow

no longer is the feeling low

this dressed in a cape

is my escape

 

 

 

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.---T.S. Eliot
