Appreciating What I Got

I can honestly say,  I don't know where I would be, had I never discovered poetry

One thing is for sure, I wouldn't be me Which got me to think who else I could be... If I were given other ways to express creatively

 

Maybe a dancer...  A constant beat already flows though my head.  On the inside I Pop & Lock away, Yet when presented to the outside, it comes off so clumsily instead

And with such lack of coordination, I'll never get the chance To deliver true emotion in the form of any dance

 

And what if I could sing in tune, I could express this all through song. I've got rhythm in my heart, now if only my voice would play along

 

If I didn't lack the melody needed, I'd be on the radio with an album almost completed

 

Or maybe on world tour, letting it all out on stage. The silence of my poetry could finally be released from it's cage

But again I just can't carry a note, so just like my dancing, there ain't much to promote

 

Don't get me wrong though, I'm okay either way. I got poetry to relay anything I want to say  And this  form of expression will last until my dying day
