look at you
complaining of your lot

a poet
full of ingratitude
the ugliest thing ever

-W.E.

it’s vulgar
to think you have been granted the tongue
the heart of a poet
and you cannot see
that the pain you experienced
is a prerequisite for you to write beauty
to etch paths for others to find their way
not to wallow in your affairs
despair of your dealt hand

take it
make it more beautiful
if you’re the artist you promise you are

whatever you are, or do, if you have art on your fingertips, it’s rather childish to bite your nails.
-W.E.
