Poetry’s Purpose

Did I come here to be heard?
Or am I only here to be numb?
Did I just need to get all of ‘it’ out?
Whose relief will it be when I’m done?


I’m not quite sure of my purpose
I’m not even sure of my truth
And I think I might meander endlessly
Till this river finds its use


Am I stuttering on a love note?
Am I drowning in the Sea?
Did I somehow end up far from home?
Did I think these words would set me free?


I’m not quite sure of the onset
As I set my beat to rhyme
Do you think I’ll find my ending
Is it just a matter of time?


I’m not quite sure of my purpose
I’m not even sure of my truth
I think I might meander endlessly
Till this river finds its use

 

Maybe I came here for comfort
Maybe to feel less alone?
I wonder when my verse stops from falling
Would you even notice I’m done?


I’m not quite sure of my purpose
I’m not even sure of my truth
I think I might meander endlessly
Till this river finds its use


I’m not quite sure of the onset
As I let my words descend
I think I was alone when it started
And I’ll still be alone in the end
