Poem
You were placed on the planet to write rhymes but to many times people tried to fit you in between their lines Their prefect pairings not caring or wanting to be fair or kind They couldn’t possibly see you They were bonafide blind not understanding you unable to peek into your multifaceted mind You say “Darkness and Negativity” But you are starting off in the right place praying on your knees No, not needing the societal disease Who cares if it’s man you please Only God has the answers He holds all the keys He gave us the birds and the bees and lets us build our houses out of his trees Change is coming I can feel it cold blowing on the breeze Maybe God will show us what He sees I know sometimes That mirror feels cracked and broken The image you see is frozen Words stuck on the other side of the glass your reflection has never spoken When you stare into those eyes You wonder What things will be discovered as your spirit is awoken Get on the love yourself train God’s blessed you with a token Don’t worry, I think all of us feel incomplete doing the life sad shuffle just off a bit by a half beat yet we get off our asses and repeat Nothing ever got done spending to much time in a seat Get moving guy bring out those happy feet You’ve got things to do and people to meet Put words down on paper Take all those thoughts the good, bad, bold and beautiful flow-fully fill up that stark white sheet Like yours “my reality” is imbedded within my insanity sometimes I’m the victim of my own voracious vanity I think I need to go it alone While needing something to fill up this heart cavity Sometimes I feel like floating far far away yet I can’t escape emotional gravity My loneliness is my own preferred prison I am my own worst enemy Is this a strange self fulfilling prophecy Do I need to be separate from society If so why do I want people to look and see To read the essence that resides in me It’s only when I write that I totally feel free I guess in the end I’m who I am born to be! Inspired by Christen Foster’s “My Reality” piece. Join me in welcoming a new poet to our family.
