Title: Save the poet.
(SUBTITLE: I'm the poem, not the poet.)
* Sound of an ambulance siren*
Everybody hates the sound of an ambulance, of cause it declares the state of an emergency.
This is an emergency!
For I am not the poet; I am the unfinished poem.
I am the written note lying on the table, soaked up in tears and covered with anxiety med.
I am the unfinished metaphors of their hidden thoughts and the hidden similies like their chameleon smile whenever they stand behind these mics.
I am not the poet; I am the unfinished poem, and this poem will remain unfinished if we don't save the poet in ward 1.
There is a poet whose doubt in himself is as obvious as the canvas-looking sky.
In ward 2, there is a poet who doesn't want to learn from the stars because he claims he is the star.
In ward 3, there is a poet whose stage fright frightens his brain to forget his lines in front of an itching audience.
In ward 4, there is a poet who covers the truth with metaphors, passing empty messages yet speaking with all authority,
swinging his hands up and down like a drummer who is beating around the bush.
But the heart beat of each poets in ward 18 caught my attention,
It was filled with 16 passionate poets,
It felt like a room of proverbs which says,
A gift of a man maketh room for him and bringeth him before great men.
Dear Poet,
This is an unfinished poem with a message, yet incomplete to completely pass it message,
so I fling open a blank page for you,
fill it up with words and not with tears and anxiety med,
after all I am not the poet,
I am just a poem waiting for your next line of action.

I'm not a poet, I'm just a poem looking for your next line of action.
"and this poem will remain unfinished if we don't save the poet in ward 1"
I love that the poet is the "unfinished poem". I love that she is the figures of speech. This is so striking, relatable for every poet out there, and I hope it draws many a poet out of the hospital. Thank you for this piece, Ifeoma Elechi!
