I toe the of self-indulgence Every time I my pen the page and form the words I felt but show 'til then And to I beg the question Why do I thus As one to one and to else? If I, afraid Of what the of stating my cause might be, When I rant and rhyme and Do I write for or me? I believe there is some In creating for self But why place the public is best left on the shelf? Though while I write I do not feel I pen is mine alone, Even could be misguided As are I have known Who swore, poor souls, that possessed The key to mysterious fate, in convincing some, But most tell they did but prate On subjects something vague cannot be unproven, or, In place of content, in tongues Yet know not whom they're for. No, I am not so; I do not I represent Some force divine, but still I I shall never be content To my tongue when I would speak Or my words to suit the hour Or pinch a upon my cheek To my joy at love gone sour. I do not to disappoint The faith that place in me To lead the way to days, But dark is all I see. I for good, I toil for hope, No one can my intent But even those who listen Can often what I meant. My fear, I've to realize, Is this: that I am wrong, That my is askew, That I shyte and call it song. Perhaps I'll question thus, Discount my merits, thoughts, and well, long as I still go forth And see this, my vision, leads. is she who knows her mind And it though she may not please. Fortunate the That such honest thoughts as these.
