Food For Thought
Have you ever been
nervous?
I have
You get a knot
In your stomach
And your tong gets all
Miss mossy
And worst of you
Get dizzy
You want to just break
D
O
W
N
Down into darkness
And you just can’t
Snap out of it
Then you sometimes
Hide
Beneath your desk
So that no one can see you
You are so afraid
Of what people will think
Of you
That you
F
O
R
G
E
T
Forget what this is
All about
That you want yourself
To get some pride
For yourself
Not anyone else
And the only way to do that
Is though
P
O
E
T
R
Y
Poetry is the only way to
Get out that anger
The only way that you can
Truly be you
