Expressions of Self

Expressions Of Self A Poem by Debbie_Philly " a Poem about graffiti from the eyes of the tagger " Expressions Of Self Moon beats down on city streets My need to express is so strong As I roam the darkness, a call To sing my song Blank sheets of canvas, are all I see As my can bleeds to be heard, my need Gets stronger, more ravenous I need Some airtime Places to say my name, I just want to To be heard, a need to be recognized I am a writer of cold hard stone Is that a crime? The can is my pen, my easel if you will In this warm summer night my paint will be spilled, across these city walls My colors and my thoughts will shine With these expressions of self My City’s shrine By Debbie Kelly~ 2006
