A Poet's Sacrifice

I have secrets that cannot be told

Such as that my soul has been sold

I sold it to poetry just to grow old

but my actions are very un-bold

you would think that my heart is all gold

but really it is just growing with mold

honestly my blood is a cold

I threw away innocence and guilt's what I hold

You think I am an innocent boy

but really I am just the merchant's toy

people go fishing and I am the koi

I feel only pain and never feel joy

oh I am sorry I forgot to say, "hi"

where are my manners I let out a sigh

I am just another commoner guy

"are you there," I look up to the sky

you know all I do is I really do try

this deal I made it was surely a lie

I did this all just for fame why?

Just to later have to say, "goodbye!"
