by Tyler Jones
I was told I have to give a
Sacrifice if I want to write.
But unbeknownst to the
Bank, I already paid the
Price to continue the heart’s
Release of words to
Further the soul’s growth. So
Pay attention as I jot down
Results of pain produced
Through loss of heart.
"For What It's Worth is one of three poems that had me examining sacrifice but in different facets. One for family and the expectations put on us, one in art and writing, and the last in love/lust and the risk."
- Tyler Jones
