I Am The Ink On Paper (Dedicated To Poetry)

My poetry is an expression of endless emotions
Life can take you high, but can crash like waves in the ocean
Compare my words to your feelings call it lyrical motion
Look close and you can see one man's devotion
Poets are not made we are born to spread reality
Observation of my thoughts is a view of my mentality
Words flow like water from one line to the next
Flaws of society hide within the context
Great ideas also come from this poetic atmosphere
I'm here as a visionary to make your visions more clear
When you witness my pen float smooth across a page
Observe a man with a message of knowledge beyond his age
The words are the ingredients my life is the flavor
Life lessons learned I Am The Ink On Paper
And as I quickly progress through different situations
I encounter the good and bad of God's creations
So I use poetry and view it as a language of my own
Scripture settles in your mind like words embedded in stone
My pen and paper are two things the world can never take away
And as I always say the past is the past and I'm living for today
I inhale and exhale this language called poetry
In this life and after death poetry is me
