A Bad Poet

A poem

My life is written by a bad poet

There’s no rhythm, failed attempts at beauty

Nothing to admire, plenty to abscond

Limp life hangs

And almost falls out of frame

But the feelings are there just the same

They just come out ugly

When you look at me

What can I say?

A bad poet wrote me.
