I Hide My Pain In Poetry Poem by Woru Sulyman

I Hide My Pain In Poetry

Rating: 4.5


After a long day's work
Or a little frank talk
I hide my pain in poetry

While ploughing the field
Or refusing their creed
I put my mind in poetry

Whether I am Goliath
Or I slay the Giant
I pour my heart in poetry

At the end of a story
Or the beginning of another
I give my soul to poetry

On a smooth tide
Or a rough ride
I pour my heart to poetry

Wherever I go
Whatever I do
I put my mind in poetry

If a bright day darkens
Or rosebush thorns cut
I hide my pain in poetry
