Deep Down Inside I Have the Soul of a Poet

Read my words and understand each line
Go over them and remember them in time
It will be a surprise to see the real me
Will you understand how it makes me feel free

Looks are deceiving and I know I don’t show it
But deep down inside I have the soul of a poet

Look at my face and see my smile
With pen and paper I can write for quite a while
Rhymes raps poems or a song
It’s just me being me is it right or is it wrong

Looks are deceiving and I know I don’t show it
But deep down inside I have the soul of a poet

Look at my hands dry like a bone
I reveal my art like a sculptor carves in stone
Will you accept me or tear me apart
In every word I write I put in my whole heart

Looks are deceiving and I know I don’t show it
But deep down inside I have the soul of a poet
 
Look at my eyes and what do they hide
Your average Joe But with a lyricist inside
Look at me ears I get inspired by what I hear
Just love me for who I am is the message totally clear

male poets are romantic..and a temptation for women..then you get the men who use this and just send the same crap to multiple girls? crapping on anything of substance..

Sorry you feel that way. This was written becasue of a comment my cousin made to me after reading one of my poems. I dont read other poets so I dont know what the same crap is. It is unique to me and therefore special to me and my family.

This was written becasue of a comment my cousin made to me after reading on of my poems. He said I knew it you had the soul of a poet. I didnt write it for a girl. This poem is unique to me. Sorry if it offended you in any way. Thanks

good poem...,,my problem is when men send the same lines and same expressions or nick names to multiple women..nothing has value or is unique anymore..at least to certain type of men I have figured out..it is like photocopying things and sending them out in bundles to different people? so much for some being valued or special
