A poem about want.

Practice in Four Parts

* * *

Can I ever truly be  
the simplest kind of free?  
I am envious of my father,  
who must see me as a bother.

I always really loved to draw,  
to bring all my thoughts of awe,  
and give them all a proper sense,  
as my own form of recompence.

That feels so long ago,  
back when I worshipped Poe;  
I loved his eye for dread,  
and every little thing he said.  
  
I am stretched far too thin,  
to think of way back when;  
but here I am thinking still,  
where my might becomes my will.
