I AM A POET

I am a poet 
Adept at painting stars in the sky 
I will glorify your pain 
And fool you into thinking it’s beautiful 
I'll fool you into thinking I'm beautiful 
But I'm not!
It’s a cunning ploy 
I'm a cheat 
Stay away from me

Or I'll sculpt you with my words 
To make you immortal 

And when you want to 
I won't even let you die 

I am a poet 
I lie in the gutter

Yet my dreams fly high
