I’m a writer

You dance , I write

You sing , I write

You draw , I write

You capture, I write it down

And down there under the stack

You will find pieces of me

Pieces known between God and me only

Because I leave a piece of myself in every poem that I write

I'm a writer

I thought it was their thing till

My ombre soul did not match my physique

My heart was in my hand

My emotions on my sleeve

And if I were to face it

It felt like I was going skinny dipping

In a sea that resembled more an abyss

It was like God reveal more of Himself

I responded to a call

And since I've kinda been on a roll

This is the one thing where other people's opinions don't matter

I like what I do

I like how I do it

How you express this fluid like things

Make you feel like jelly sometimes

As I penetrate your walls

Into your soul

And bring out a reaction that surprises us all

That in my my most euphoric state

Or even when I am the saddest existential crisis you have ever seen ,I write

And now I got stacks in my head

Decks on my bed

as all emotions get transcribed onto paper

White naked, demanding paper

Perhaps an anchor

But, also a caretaker

As the concern that

I will not have enough space to

Store my articulated lace

Threatens to consume

But then I assume

That u most probably will never feel like this again

Defined and defiled by another of the same flesh as me

Bro can't you see ?

How much I strive to breathe

To live ..

Thus I write

Cause I'm a writer right?

Riiiiiiight

I AM A WRITER
