Mistake of a Poet

Perhaps the greatest mistake of any poet that a poet can
make is to quiet the feelings of his heart. This in
itself is dangerous and explosive when the volcano of
his mind erupts sometimes in illogical manner.

An artist must be an artist and must allow himself freedom
to deny a gift is to accept a curse and that is a curse
An artist must express himself through some artistic outlet
he must have the courage to stand alone and accept his curse.

That being said, a poet must tell the truth and all of it
and if he chooses to lie, he must tell it well without remorse
He must accept his temperament and understand himself first
then and only then his words will matter to all who listen.
