Don't take my heart's voice and make it your Starbucks review. It may not be pretty, perfect, and cookie cutter constructed. But I still feel something, and i'm sure you do too. I'm not a dog and pony show. I wish I felt it were true. What's a poet to a writer? Why are some valid and others not? No reaction is a reaction after all. But even alone, I must be a fighter. I'm not a dog and pony show. But I wonder if you'd ever know. Because you choose our voices like you choose your candy. You prefer what's sweet, and discard the sour. My voice is a sweetart, what comes with it tingles. Listen and react for it's story, not the speaker, and you'll feel it deep inside your heart.

Not a Dog and Pony Show
