Return of the Poet
This is the return of the poet
I haven't sat with my pad in a while
I've been stuck with writers block, so I've had to search for a motive
I thought I was doing ok until my friend said she saw a lot of sadness in my smile
I acted like I didn't know what she was saying but I did understand what she meant
But egos get bruised when you question a man and his strength
The way people judged me for my breakdown you would think they had me on trial
But I've realised you can still have a great finish even if you're bad for a mile
I've been struggling recently, writers block was Killing me at night
I forgot about my ability to write
So many ups and downs, I've just been looking for some stability in life
So many questions I ask myself, do I like this girl or am I just using her for healing me inside?
Am I wrong for not understanding love yet and talking about such things
I've only known love once or twice, I'm ashamed that I've had more one night stands and meaningless flings
As I'm getting older I've realised all great men need a great woman on their team
If you ever played chess, you'd know that the king needs to be protected by a queen
Trust issues as I Grew up in foster care, so I never enjoyed christmas
Never had my parents present, but I picked up a pen and realised I was gifted
to heal from all of this pain and Demi Lovato are the only two things on my wishlist
I gained the strength to stand tall and walk away from the demons I used to sit with
Even on my good days I remember my hard days vividly
Never was a ghetto boy, just a Hip-Hop fanatic who listens to Scarface religiously
Hip-Hop has always been my light when the dark days visit me
The sky is still beautiful even if some of the stars shape differently
This is the return of the poet
I've finally took the time to sit with my pad
I'm slowly gaining confidence in my writing again, I've found my motive
The poet and his pen are back
