Talk Through It

I don’t write raps I write poems with a beat,
I get my flow when my feet hit the street,
I like to stay cool, let my words bring the heat,
I don’t like rubble, my meanings concrete.

When I write these words I just talk to myself
It’s more entertainment than a book off a shelf
and it helps to maintain my emotional health
My words and ideas are my greatest wealth.

If what I say is offensive please don’t be mad
I usually speak of the hardships I’ve had
The last thing I want is anyone to feel bad
because like any good story the endings not sad.

I guess the point of this write is to explain why I do it,
and on top of that, I mean, I needed some new ****
I want to make sure you all know I will not quit
Because while I’m in a good place now I’m still working through it.

So thank you all for reading even if you don’t care
because expressions my passion and you allow me to share
when I feel like a circle being forced through a square
leave myself on the paper unfiltered and bare.

And my only real hope is my words help someone
that they stumble upon them and a connections begun
that they give motivation to stand your ground and not run
to defeat the hatred in life and replace it with fun.

So if you relate to my words than I’m writing for you
I write for the people who fight to renew
a faith, an idea deep down they know to be true
and help them get over the **** they’ve been through.

So thank you for reading my stories and poems
I’m touched and quite honored that my words reached your homes
and I’ll keep on writing until my flesh leaves my bones
When the only words left to see will be on our gravestones
