Poetry makes me special

The curtain pulls up on stage for me to recite
a poem of inspiration to share the light
to keep my audience mesmerized by each verse
I go into the deepness of silence like a bubble burst

to transform tears of sorrow into nectar for the soul
the broken pieces hidden within I bring to the world
with inspiration I surrender my crown to be alone
for the castle I dream of is not built with mortar and stone

I choose to be free like a bird flying in the sky
to rule over the flowers whose beauty will wither and die
for a moment to remove all the darkness and pain
from those who seek the treasure of wisdom sane

everything before my eyes comes without any mistake
the challenge is mine to accept the truth and not to forsake
in exchange for my talent I extend my hand to the blind
that they may recognize the pearls of light they want to find
