suffer beautifully

writing poetry
is easy
a razor
dragged
down soft flesh
cutting through
emotional tissue
seperating
meat from bone

don’t let
anyone
tell you
different

just carve
your own
roadmap
of agonies
pick off
any scabs
that may
carelessly
form

and when
you’ve got
nothing left
in the tank
that’s when
you have to
find new ways
to bleed

creation
is pain
you just have to
learn how
to suffer
beautifully
