To carry the fire of poetry in your veins is curse <br />Because the freedom to say 'no' is lost <br />You write because you have no other choice <br />Hope that God will read a word or two <br />Or some other respected or unknown entity on the web, <br />and that you will be very lucky, <br />If strangers bless you with a kind word in your cup.<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-curse-of-poetry/
