How Can I Write A Poem/ When I Am Filled With Inner Ugliness

HOW CAN I WRITE A POEM/ WHEN I AM FILLED WITH INNER UGLINESS

How can I write a poem
When I am filled with inner ugliness
Envy sadness disappointment hopelessness?
How can I write a poem
When discouragement so deep in me
And so relentless?

The poem itself
Its writing
Restores hope-
Truly or falsely
If only to some small degree
Writing these words
I at least now feel
Perhaps there is some small use and meaning to me
After all.
