Susan Benjamin Poet Epic

My Poetry Is Deep

I will not tumble down nd fall to wat u say u expect of me
 I will not curve my pen 
 My ink remains insync with me
 My poetry is deep!
 Sometimes a little off edge but deep nonetheless
 Why shud I bow down to those who lack the intelligence to decipher the true emotions that lie in the twists nd turns of my crooked letters
 My poetry is deep?
 What is deep to me may not be deep to u
 But my poetry is true..
 U shall see that when um through

 I will not confuse u with metaphors or words known only by the dead
 I am not shakespear or a prodigy of any medeval poet..
 My poetry Is deep!
 There is no need for philosophers of any sort..
 My poetry does not need to be broken- it is not Da Vinci code

 My poetry branches out like a confused tree in winter
 My poetry runs deep with every line of mine
 Please keep in mind...
 I will not tumble down to expectation..

 My poetry quenches thirsts of many kinds..
 Heals or reveals even the mind of a child..
 My poetry can be explained by a mime
 You see.. My poetry is deep
 I do not need a podium to take u on rides no mind has ever known
 But a podium does need me to give it purpose nd exposure
 Like I said - my poetry is deep..
 Look deep into my eyes 
 Nd u will see that my poetry..
 Is my life..
