Poet and Writer

Paper and pencil lie at the forefront
Only to be used to bring words alive
Everlasting words that make others think
Tumultuously waiting for the thoughts to arrive

Anticipating the next level of consciousness
Narcotics never could bring about this rush
Dared to have when the pencil and paper touch

Willing to lie and contemplate the world
Right where I am and where I could be
Intrigued by the expression of what I say
Tasting the thrill of speaking from me
Egocentrically presenting my ideas 
Righteously succumbing others to my word
