Writing Activity For Poetry Club 2

* We were told to people watch to draw inspiration from the outside world* Public transportation Is My Source for real world information The introverted Man across from me shuffles his ipod His lips move to Lyrics of an unknown cadence Lost in a day dream Remembering childhood fantasies He is Battling with Lil Wayne, Eminem or even Drake Or feeling the guitar sing when he’s playing with the Queen Just an ordinary man, no one would usually take notice of him But the crowds recognition, the attention, the admiration of women This was the life much more suited for him The Bright pink colour in his cheeks or his laughter rising to the ceiling Would be much more captivating Than his dreary grey scowl, hardened from societies disapproval He looks back across from me Almost apologetically Poets weren’t meant to be spies I looked him straight in the eyes and told him Never apologize Your dreams are closer to you than you realize Love yourself first, and that trust will seal your fate
