You know poetry is your life
when you initially wake
and you're already in a conditioned mind state
reciting lines in your head
You know poetry is your life
when you go to bed
and rhymes are drifting you
away into a sleeping state
You know poetry is your life
when you are driving along
and you suddenly pull over
just to scribble down some narrative thoughts
You know poetry is your life
when you are at work
and you refrain from doing your job
just so you can jot down some formal expression
You know poetry is your life
when you are reading the mail
and even names and numbers
inspire a distinctive phrase
You know poetry is your life
when thy words of choice
become rapid fluency
and part of the Shakespearean language
You know poetry is your life
when random collections seamlessly take over
and are scattered everywhere
from journals, to loose papers, hard drives, & accumulating memory
You know poetry is your life
when you begin to realize
and everyday you must traditionally release
the spoken word writes to its divine legacy
You know poetry is your life
when you are typing away
and all of a sudden,
you lose your precious work
yet you can still retrieve the files
from one's own mental database
Poetry is your life
Life is your poetry
Whether you live a good one
Whether you live a bad one
Poetry is real
Poetry is fake
What is it really?
What is it not?
Poetry is your life
A therapeutical salvation
Cycle through the emotional manifestation
Peddle away from the soul's padlock
A spiraling staircase that leads you to freedom
The universal process of exhibiting experience
It's a divine intervention
Revelations of truth and discovery
Creating artful expression of one's existence
You know poetry is your life
