[A Poet in Distress]

A poet in his most pressing moments.

A poet in distress.

Is really quite a mess.

With words he cant confess.

With his pen he cant profess.

Overwhelmed by oncoming stress.

At first the poet wants to protest.

With all his heart and time he invests.

Upon the words inscribed upon his breast.

He wants to argue, but to protest would surely mean to regress.

But from all corners he's being pressed.

Compacting himself, completely compressed.

Praying for a nurturing caress.

Of strength in faith he must assess.

To mature spiritually and mentally in finesse.

To all the daily trials ahead he must address.

To relearn the fact that every day is a good day.

And it surely has been blessed.

I can relate to your poem. Oftentimes I could consider myself as a writer in "distress". There are instances wherein I really want to express my feelings through writing but I just found myself stuck with a feeling that my words weren't good enough. By the way, what a nice rhyming of words you've got. Such a great vocabulary. :)
