Why I'm Not A Poet

9:34 PM |

....one of my random poems....

I want to write like the people I see on Def Poetry
The one's who spit prose and verses so effortlessly
See when I write my thoughts get lost
Between my mind and my pen
Spelling errors
....Punctuation
Damn gotta start over again.

I want to write like the people I see on Def Poetry
The ones who spit with so much power they pull the audience out their seats
See when I write my rhymes are flawed
Using vocabulary like I was ten
Wrong similes?
.......Or Metaphors?
Damn gotta start over again.

I want to write like the people I see on Def Poetry
The one's full of emotion, passion, sprinkled with real comedy
See my emotions are passing strangers
My wit only funny to my friends
Is that Brown calling?
......Lost my place.
Damn gotta start over again.

I want to write like the people I see on Def Poetry
The one's who spit prose and verses so effortlessly
The ones who spit with so much power they pull the audience out their seats
The ones full of emotion, passion, sprinkled with comedy.
The one's who inspire and spit so influentially.
But I realize I can only write like me.
