A Poet's Shadow
Location
I search for a shadow to be my safe haven
I’m condemned to be a lawyer, a doctor, or maybe an engineer,
Filled with the hopes and dreams of my parents,
I spill blood over the paper because words are my safe haven,
Picking up the mic, so I can penetrate hearts with rhymes,
Cause lines were never meant to be heard by eyes,
So why do I got to lie and say I want to seat in an office chair,
And smile to my boss to pretend like I care,
I want to be free to follow my dreams,
And my flaws is what makes me perfect
So I don’t have to cover my scars with processed remarks
Of how great of a person I am or of what I’m not
