Words of Appreciation
Growing up my eyes grew clear than ever before
Not knowing how the world would view my talent
Feeling like an outcast behind a closed door
Back when I shunned the world those nights spent
Reflecting on if my talent would ever be heard
Before somebody would turn me down saying I was absurd
Now I'm accepted into a community where I feel so free
Where I'm not judged but praised for being the real me
Letting words of soul and feelings out the spark of my light
Never a day goes by when I remember hiding it all at night
Where a poet like me would just dream of being somebody
And a world before shunned him and called him a nobody
Things are different now as I grow more stronger each day
Because of people like you allowing me to open my light's ray
