"Lighten Up" - Matt S. 1998

I do not write great poetry

Not in my eyes

And maybe not in yours either

------

I think of some words to say

Coming from my mind

They may not make sense

They may seem not flowing

And maybe depressed?

------

But I am happy

When I write

In small spurts over time

I feel poetic or deep in thought

Maybe only the latter

For I do not feel poetic now

------

I contemplate

Many things

And Code them into these words of ink

For me to understand

And someone to see

Even if

They are only spirits peeking over my shoulder
