Why I Write

I try to describe my self, To ascertain who I actually am. To uplift the self, I finally have to give a damn. I always wished to pen, Just didn’t know as to when, And how to ascertain, A shot that’s nowhere to end. Wow! I am this, Oh! Why don’t I know that! Yipee! I have it, Grrrr! Why can’t I try that. I wanted to be free, I wished I had a special she. But all would be in a spree, Once you get a money-tree. But ain’t I got one in the yard, So better I, now again, work hard, Since that’s how I can make it that far, To transform my life into a beautiful card. Then I planned a lot, But t’was the following that I did not. Yet always I wanted to crack the pot, On the first shot, At the very spot. What I forgot, Was to plan a plot, That targets a dot, On the pot, For the shot. I dreamt of many a thing, But ain’t I got nothing, Wonder why??? Well that’s obvious unless you try. Within I tried to inculcate, The passion and spirit to fight. But long did I wait, The fire failed to ignite. There were times when I cried, Somehow wished someone by my side, Off my heart, tears continued to slide, But never I let them to my eye, T’was then I realized, For none wait the time and tide. Life to some is a cage, To some an empty page, And to many, about wage, But to me……it’s a big stage, Where you got to perform, With and all your form, So as to leave a mark, For the later age, One that’s never to be erased. In my note, On every page, I try to quote, With all my rage, In pursuit to control my age, And free the self from all bondage. So from everyone did I brush aside, And finally chose to decide, To get rid of my conflicting side, Of my heart, I made a divide, And individualized every side, Then, finally, I chose to fly, With a side, That would get me high. As such, I resolved, Before life’s dissolved, To use my reynold, And get the self evolved. Now a balloon I inflate, With the smoke from fire that isn’t so bright, But believe that’s enough for my initial flight, Coz am …….determined to FIGHTTTT.

Your rhyme scheme was bit all over the place, it made this piece hard to read. I can definitely feel the emotions in your words, and it seems like at some points you were really inspired when you wrote this. Keep digging into your emotions, and let you rhythm come out naturally.
