No Unread Poem Will End The Despair I Feel Now

NO UNREAD POEM WILL END THE DESPAIR I FEEL NOW

No unread poem will end the despair I feel now
Nor will a poem read
By one or two.

Should the world say
I am a poet.
Perhaps this would mean something.

I don’t know.
No one knows,
No one cares.

I am a poet only for myself
And for myself too
This begins to be
Nothing.
