Takes Time To Learn That... Poem by RIC BASTASA

there are too many paths
leading to poetry
at first you like to copy from them
and be one of them
and being like all the rest
you adore each other
soon, you depart from them
and find your own way
and they won't like it
and call you a freak but there is only one path actually
and that is when you speak what your heart says
when being troubled
you listen to your own sound
hoping that from its own syllables
you can find out
the cure.
