God knows
I've tried to tame her
shut her quickly inside
and slam the door on her cries...

But in her desperation
she crawls beneath them
free again
and takes control
like the conqueror
she fancies herself.

Mis-understood creature
from my soul's deepest sphere;
she used to get my hands slapped
when she wrote on the walls
cause they couldn't see her
only me.

She made them call me names;
like weird or strange child
a loner.
Heaven forbid that they would
call me a poet;
an artist
at her works end.

And so I've tried to tame her;
lock her within for them;
but now I'll free her
for me.
