My Story

My feelings use to be bottled in 
so I didn't know where to begin.
I picked up a pen and let my story begin.

Do I write because I'm right
or for others delight .

Do I write out of fright
or do I write because there is enough light.
If my beats aren't tight
Lord let my words still take flight.

I'm not a fighter I'm a writer. 
That's why I will only fight you on paper 
where it's much safer.
I will always fight for what I believe in.

So to all my haters,complainers, 
intimidators,and all debaters. 
This will never stop me 
because God's spirit is within me. 

May the words I now utter
melt hearts like butter.
I don't know where this might go,
but I'll keep writing 
and watch it grow.
