A New Poem

A New Poem
By: J. A. Stevens


The blank page stares at me
It glares at me
As if to say
Ok
Lets see what you got
I’m your’s for the taking
If you have it in you
This is what you want
To speak to the world
Or are you chicken shit
Are you afraid to fail
Or just afraid to try
My mind has the will
But what of my heart
Someone’s going to read this
And what will they think
Who cares says I
If they think me a fool
What of it
It’s my poem
And I don’t care who likes it
Or doesn’t like it
