Javier Moreno Colon Poet Persona

The confining construct

There was a Time in my life where I tried to undermine

The lies in my mind 
 
Time being spent tryna justify 

Asking myself who’s this guy 

Time to get rid of the disguise  

Now I’m left with this persona  

Who lost his sense of self due to corona 

Isolated but not at home 

Doing shrooms dropping acid 

Went from being avid 

To my ego collapsin 

So when they ask if I been slipping 

Yeah I have been 

Forced to fight the feeling 

Born to write words that cause healing 

So I picked up the pen 

Becoming an addict 

To be a man amongst men 

Puttin my heart and pride on these sheets of paper 

I’m finna Break the stereotype and become a different type of landscaper 

One who cuts and trims the letters to fit better 
  
On this piece of paper 

That I call a love letter
