This Poem Is All About
This poem is all about?
2012
Wanted to write a poem about injustice, a poem on being disgusted, wanted to write a poem about struggles; struggling to write a poem.
Need people to hear my cries, my plea; snap their fingers for me, understand my pain because you feel it as well. Want people to know I’m an activist with poetic movement, advocate for what- this poem is all about.
Wanting to write a poem; needed to write but blocked. This poem doesn’t have to rhyme, doesn’t need to express anything specific; just words coming together forming a sentence. Wanted to write a poem about existence, my living conditions, how this man hurt my heart, being unemployed, how to survive in these streets, just wanted to write, but this poem is all about? If you’ve been paying attention you’ll know what this poem is all about.
Writing a poem all about this poem because this poem is all about every poem poets write about. Words that must intrigue make you cry, or spit blows that make you bob & weave in your seat because yeah, that’s your secret. This poem is all about?
Bravery to share your soul, remaining fearless while nervous in front of unknowns, at times someone gets offended, because this poem is all about a memorable performance, Def poetry type recognition, yeah this poem is all about.
Having someone walk up to me and say, “Damn that poem was deep”, needed to hear that speech, wanted to write a poem, so this poem is about? Open mic nights, a crowd of on lookers a stage and me standing in front of you reciting what this poem was all about.
