I'm here to bust wide open
The hidden world of poetry
Some of the things I've witnessed
Most of the things I've seen

It goes deep beyond measure
Even deeper than I fear
In the laughter of its rhythm
Through the rhyming of its tears

When you take poetry to the heart
Like a literary worm it burrows deep
Listen close when I say it's so
I know cause it's happened to me

Where it works it's way into the brain
So it's all you think about
Listen my friends as I tell you all this
Beyond a shadow of a doubt

I'm not trying to say to stay away
Just a warning to be mindful
In this day and age that's so close to the edge
It never hurts to be extra careful

While some may call me a traitor
Letting go secrets that shouldn't be known
I'm standing strong and refuse to run
I just felt you should be warned...
