i wanted to tell you
all about me
about my experiance
with my poetry
there is more to me
then what you see
and if your jelous
that's not because of me

because jelousy is a sin
and i won't have it
because poetry is about whats inside
and i love it

and i'm not making it a contest
because i love what i do
and it really hurts me
if you think i'm trying to

i almost shed a tear
when i saw you thought that of me
but then i thought to myself
"it's not about me, it's about poetry"

and if one poet can take away your love like that?
if maya angalou came here
would she take one look and say
"i need a new carrer, fast"

no, she would take one look and say
"these people are gifted"
she would absorb that
and then her spirits would get lifted

so that's me
any questions?
no?
i didn't think
so come on
you're a poet
take some respondsability
