i am poetic compulsion by michaelcahill
who are you? writing prompt entry



i am poetic compulsion

i see inside what others deem closed 
i hear tears drip behind smiles
i touch gladly what most see opposed
i say truth if it uplifts or defiles
i am poetic compulsion 

i cry for things most haven't seen
i laugh so I'll seek one more scheme
i worry it’s on air that you lean
i dream of the perfect life's theme
i am poetic compulsion

i pretend it's a cynical world
i wonder… i wonder… i wonder… why?
i want love's flag flying unfurled,
i believe that it could if we try

i feel thoughts erupting- soul's propulsion!
i am poetic compulsion
