I Write
I write grief
I write pain
Mine also, yours also
The pain of loneliness
I also endure
You also endure
I am also in love
You are also in love,
But paradoxically
If anyone asks me
I lie and say
It's just poetry
I think myself
What is the penalty
I lie to myself
The truth of me
To covering with the mask
And call it poetry
It is as like
If the pigeon sees the cat
Ready to attack that
Pigeon locks its eyes
And thinking it is safe.
