Reading What I Write
I have written many poems
Since that fateful day
Yet for some silly reason
I seem to forget what they say
Helping me feel better
But only as a short quick fix
If I don’t take things to heart
And keep them in the mix
By reading what I write
I can keep things fresh in mind
Keep the demons at bay
And put the pain behind
In writing I have found
Many of my Ahas
But the Devil can take control
When I think of all my flaws
I need to keep on writing
But I need to read as well
To exorcise my demons
And send them back to Hell
