Do I look like a poet? Does poetry seep through my veins, Stinging the tip of my tongue? Do I make you think of pretty sentences? Associate me with melodies of the storm, Do I look like art? Am I worthy of words, Worthy of your pigment in my life? Do I shine like my metaphors? Do you seek comfort in me? Am I your muse? Am I purely perfect? Or am I brutal, Am I hurtful, Do I remind you of the truth? Do I cry and yell like the thunderstorms? Do I remind you of what you hate the most? Do the ballads I sing sound more like the reprimands you run from, The burdens that chase you, Does my tongue kiss your soul with the sweetest of pleas, Do I make you shed tears as I plague your soul, Do you associate me with the winter sobs at noon, Do I feel like pain? Do my words make you bleed in black and white? Do I slay like my zeugmas, Do you run from reality? Am I your conscience? Am I cruelty in its best form?
