Poetry, My Living Water
I was not born in a usual way
Not a specific hospital, time or place
My life started through my paper and pen
I bursted into life going in for the win
My words spit out fire, I made people think
"She's the epitome of wisdom", for I refused to sink
My thoughts followed a rhythym and my words a scheme of rhyme
My blood pumped creativity and when I spoke I stopped time
Poetry became my voice, my only place in the world
As a teen it's my escape route, where my deepest feelings unfurled
As others spoke against me, the enemy came to kill
Poetry's my strongest foundation, I won't be shaken, for eternity I stand still
Please don't take my words lightly, but digest them if you will
For I speak power and strength, this in others I instill
Writing's my key to freedom, these words define me
For I live poetry
I bleed poetry
I eat, sleep and breathe poetry
Everyone has a purpose or something they can't live without
Writing is how I express myself.
The wisdom from my words is what I'm about
