My Dear Poetry Soup Member
My Dear Poetry Soup Member,
Pleased to know some of you enjoyed the piece I wrote "Just like November."
I just want to forever light up a room like a burning ember.
I'm striving to be a talent people can look back on and remember.
By now most of you know I'm incarcerated.
But when you prejudge me it makes me sad and frustrated.
My back is against the wall and I have already been checkmated.
So avoiding me totally makes me feel discriminated.
Get to know me, I promise I'm not contaminated.
I just long for love and to feel appreciated.
Sincerely,
Poetry Soups convict Jimmy
Note: Written for Brian Strands contest "My Dear."
