The Unknown Poet

She wasted her talent for most of her life

Buried down deep in her soul

Knowing she had the words to heal

But no one would ever know

She could see inside a person's heart

She knew how to fix their pain

She could even find the rainbow

Even without the rain

And though she had never been there

She could still understand their grief

She knew what each one was looking for

And could offer a little relief

She was more than your everyday poet

For she had such a special gift

She could always bring her words to life

To set our souls adrift

There was something about the words she chose

That was simple, with understanding

Her words were kind and well defined

Suggesting, but never demanding

How many lives could this poet have touched

If she would have only followed through?

Don't be afraid to write what you feel

For this poet, could even be you
