A poem written in heroic couplet...
then I own it, and I can do no worse.
If the world disdains me, not saying why;
then I can stand it, though I want to die.
Alone for good, now and for evermore,
as souls come, to never enter my door.
Condemned by my sins, I'm kept from the light;
without grace, I live bereft of God's sight.
(Too bad if some don't recognize my genius;
but know, great souls believe in their greatness:
so damn this world if I'm cursed any longer!
For the burden of brilliance makes me stronger.)

Pompous Lines by an Outwardly Brazen Poet
If the sin of pride is my condign curse;then I own it, and I can do no worse.
If the world disdains me, not saying why;
then I can stand it, though I want to die.
Alone for good, now and for evermore,
as souls come, to never enter my door.
Condemned by my sins, I'm kept from the light;
without grace, I live bereft of God's sight.
(Too bad if some don't recognize my genius;
but know, great souls believe in their greatness:
so damn this world if I'm cursed any longer!
For the burden of brilliance makes me stronger.)
