Here Let This Lonesomeness Be Constrained

I am not Frost, Longfellow, nor Yeats,
Not Shakespeare, Wordsworth, nor am I Keats,
Despite genetics a bard am I,
For to poesy I give a glad eye.

Mayhap none will see these odes I write,
In grade school, my rhymes, none will recite,
But this wellspring within needs not fame,
The words will flow nonetheless the same.

Yet why compose if it matters not?
Am I seeking the youth I've forgot?
If none will read this why put it down?
Surely 'tis not for a verbal noun.

Nay I scribe for mine own selfish needs,
I chronicle the truths my heart bleeds,
And in so doing I’m letting go,
‘Til naught but bliss is all that I know.

Here let this lonesomeness be constrained,
For I’d reveal not how my soul’s pained.

Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history!

Like the words

The message - same reason I post

I want to write and whilst I enjoy reading my own ego, I'd like someone else to read it as well.

Without ego all we would have are words.
