the poets

by falcon - Not entered

I close my eyes and try to sleep
but the dead poets come to torment me
holding their poems before me
throwing their greatness in my face
They taunt me with their truths
and grip my fingers around a pen, 
mocking my silence
Write they say, but i can't
What if i fail, i will never equal them
so why even try.
But they won't let me quit.
They will torture me forever.

Reason for writing:

    what a crappy attempt at poetry!
