It's all inside heating up steam
hell-bent anger wanting to explode
this is all so wrong takes one over
one press just like any old download
What causes this human disruption?
for it to reveal itself like a bomb
gaining victory's hope looks gone
so frustrating makes one storm
Over all the years speaking so hard
at school left alone not a word
no conversation makes one angst
looking above wish was a bird
Then I could have flown away
but here I was filled full of fear
why can't I speak like other folks?
rising inside anger in a tear
The anger needs released and freed
so give oneself a chance to speak
still difficult but able to accept life
show all this guy is no freak!
(My thoughts on anger are hidden within having stammered all my life but later let it out and felt better for it. )

Your writing takes me higher, to a brighter day
Response: Your words, too, doth reader repay

Sad and poignant, yet depression held at bay
In good and bad times, you display a mainstay
NOTE: the longer version was lost in space .... Cyberspace. Maybe it is ENOUGH SAID, by the Universe. ThanX for reading PS. Bless u, shalom shalom
I'm out and about just doin me
Speaking on what I go through
And what I see
Right now ain't no games to be played
So don't play with me
Been living life
Been doin what I like
Everyday is a test
Refrain from being mediocre
I try my best
Tending to issues that should be addressed and put em to rest
Speak what's on my mind
Doin what I supposed to do
Watchin everything around me
Somewhere in my city
Where u can find me
I'm out and about
Ain't worried about no clout
What u see is what u get
Just so that there's no doubt??
Way back in the day
I wouldn't get out my door
Unless I was looking great
Now I think at my age
It's great when I can just
Get out my door

may look unconventional
but don't fool yourself
no lint found in my navel
Oh, to be up in the early morn,
out and, about before the dawn.
To see the sky, as it gradually gets light,
the first rays of pink in the clouds,
oh, what an awesome sight.
Watching nature wake to its early morning call,
makes me gaze in wonder,
at the majesty, and beauty of it all.
