Pen and Poet

The pen doesn’t make the poet until the poet takes the pen, then you can use it as a tool to express how you felt back then.

Rhymes are not required, you can go right off the top, or you can put together bars like you’ve been taken by the cops.

Set it to a melody made up in your mind, take it on a journey just to see what you can find.

Flow doesn’t really matter but to me it really does, when I started writing rhymes that’s what my focus really was.

Something that while you read it you’re compelled to nod your head, something that puts a voice to all the words you never said.

Something that helps someone going through a real hard time, if they can’t seem to help themselves maybe they’ll find help within my rhymes.
