A Poet's Purpose

This is not a romance novel

It is not a fairy tale

Prince Charming will not save you

The enemy is not an apple

Nor is it a snake pushing wares

From forbidden places

Or an evil queen suffering

The weight of her own ego

This is life

As messy, as painful, 

As magical, as wondrous

As the miracle

Of our mistaken existence

In a world that was never meant to be

The only hope to put it into words

Is the hope of poetry
