I Can Be Your…

I can be your personal poet
Your voice when silence becomes
Your overwhelming chorus
When the thought of expression
Burns your every fibre raw

I can be your personal poet
Your wind when the sails are
Flapping low
When the thought of moving
Become just that - a thought

I can be your personal poet
Your razor sharp nails when they
Do not understand your situation
When you just need a bandaid
To cover up the bleeding

I can be your personal poet
Your voice to shout
Your ears to flop
Your bunny rabbit and
The carrot
