Reality Poem by Katie Kelley

If life is cruel and unkind
I'd rather be blind
then what is harsh reality
I would no longer have to see

If poetry is as simple as a prayer
everyone could write their own
all their problems would be heard
they might not feel so alone

if love didn't hurt so much
I take another chance
So i could feel somebody precious care
then what i feel in my heart
I could share...

If all these things were true
then things might not look so blue
but life and love hurt us all
and poetry might not help at all
