Heart of a Poet (Original)
Poets are destined to those with one of the two
A mind full of knowledge or a heart that is true
An example is such that one will pursue
And go forth to attain it at any cost
One must soon enough realize that he has lost
though failure in this is not an option
Be aware in this is a word to the wise [as a caution]
To fight not with destiny as it will always win
To move against faith forever, it is truly a sin
But enlightened are those that realize the lesson
A person with a true heart is a better person
Only a true heart can be broken
Only A true heart will be broken
a pain so sharp that the soul is awoken
It is true though it may not always manifest
truly sometimes it will not show it
never the less, a broken heart can make a great poet.
