BEMUSED

I've been told I am an average, not so bright


My grammar is weak and cadence, not of pride

I lack the ardor which ignites the playwright


My ideas are just obvious and trite

B
U
T

Little did they know,

I am a forlorn literary hack cloistered in a metaphorical garden


Rescuing myself from my own soul’s infernal horizons
Restructuring my choked up well, frozen in the petal shaped obsidian flower
Reincarnating the soul that died thrice in search of a four-leaf clover

Unaffected by critics' conclusion


Working to bring calmness into my fear
From thoughts that has now darkened
Dousing my incendiary plumes

I write! I write lines without meter or rhymes


For writing, is my only savior.
