Hot Bowl Of Poem

If you leave it
up to the world
your thoughts
will go unheard,

internalizing
is but
a simmering pot

and sooner or later
you have to dish out
a bowl for your sanity,

ingredients such as:
love, hate, loneliness,
lost souls in the misunderstood,

can make for
a complicated stew,
how you get it off your chest?

depends on how long
you let it simmer.
