I was always a Poet. At heart l always expressed my emotions in voice l could only hear. I was powerless even more brutal-silenced, and in that moment the tears came rolling down it fountain. A piece of paper was all l had: So for once l wasn’t so silent, l was powerless but wasn’t silent. For once l didn’t quench this consuming fire I allowed my self burn in this fire that has been repressed . With burning eyes l realised l had found my way . My words weren’t as pretty as the words of a poet combined that made my heart ache or flutter. But in the moment my words were my freedom and that made me a poet at heart.

Why be a poet ?
I was always a Poet. At heart l always expressed my emotions in voice l could only hear. I was powerless even more brutal-silenced, and in that moment the tears came rolling down it fountain. A piece of paper was all l had: So for once l wasn’t so silent, l was powerless but wasn’t silent. For once l didn’t quench this consuming fire I allowed my self burn in this fire that has been repressed . With burning eyes l realised l had found my way . My words weren’t as pretty as the words of a poet combined that made my heart ache or flutter. But in the moment my words were my freedom and that made me a poet at heart.
Even now my words are not so pretty But they are my words all mine
