Is encouragement what the poet needs? Open Question. Maybe he needs discouragement. In fact, quite a few of them need more discouragement, the most discouragement possible. -Robert Fitzgerald

It breathes life into you,
makes your chest fall and rise rhythmically.
It creates your shape and curvature,
allows you to flow into countless minds and souls.
It is the faucet of your being,
the food to your hunger,
the water to your thirst.
It is who you are.
It is my pain.
It is my poem.
