I am a Poet

I am a poet. Please don't respect me
I stand against all of humanity
I pour the darkness onto the page
I kill the angel that tries to save

I am a poet. I write for the devil
He sits on my shoulder and fills me with evil
I remind you of sadness with my imagery
I paint up a nightmare in malicious beauty

I am a poet. I gain strength with each word
I feed my readers with all that is unheard
I am relentless and never sorry
I kill a thousand and never worry

I am a poet. I break all the rules
I bow before no one unless I wish to
With no audience, I never lived
With the attention, I never die
