Notes About The Poem

Author's Note: Leaving your former life behind isn't just a walk; it's crossing a wild and rocky range. This piece is my personal anthem. It is written with a snappy, bouncing hip-hop cadence, so tap your foot to a fast 4/4 rhythm and read it out loud with pride!

The Truth, the passion and the Poet

The truth, the passion, and the Poet

Ridin' high, the truth is told, passions and poet collide,
Igniting the shadows with fire and light!
My heart is open, free to decide,
I break to the open and soar with the bold!

Passions collide with the woman I know,
The fire is rising, I let it ride,
No longer walking with stories untold!
I've crossed the wild and rocky range!

The fire is lit and I let it glow!
My heart is free and it feels so strange,
Untied from the stories of my former age!
Passions collide as the high winds blow!
Feeling the heat as my fires rage!

On top of the world I fly,
With every heartbeat I feel the pride,
Kissing the past a sweet goodbye,
The truth, the passion, the poet and I!
