To Virginia Woolf, the Poet
Today I read about a poet who cried every night before she went to sleep
Except each tear was carefully placed, and her eyes were empty
She didn't know how to live her life and found herself a Persian Cat
She was no Angel in the House, but rather a fighter against hell
Today I read about a poet, whose side profile looked majestic and royal
Anyone would assume that she was happy being beautiful
But later in 1942 she drowned herself, and water filled her lungs
And perhaps this was tragedy or maybe it was a release
From the clutches of womanhood, because she was no angel
Today I read a poem about a poet who found herself deceased
For she had, in fact, become a ghost in each woman's heart
A citation on who they should strive to be, for she was a martyr
And maybe one I will become her in every respect, except
I have already tried to kill myself and choked on my vomit
I did not die and become a ghost, instead, I lived and rose
Life to was about persecution but now I see that it is about execution
I lit a flame in my gear I floated toward heaven and landed on earth
Where I will live till I am ready to die just as that poet.
