What are some things you can express through poetry that you can’t express in another writing format?
The emotions I can express through poetry is priceless
You don’t know how much I love this
The day to day shit I take
I can let it out on the mic
It’s literally therapeutic
This notepad is my couch
And the poetry that leaves my mouth
Bounces off the walls like a bouncy house
As it enters the minds of everyone in the room and they can finally feel what I feel
I finally can drop the shield
I can finally speak without trying to be this man of steel
I can finally be real
I can finally let the world in on how I feel
Instead of putting up this persona that I am made of steel
That’s what poetry allows me to do
I can write phony story with different characters but how would you know it’s really from the heart
When these words sing from my soul
It takes a different kind of toll
On me it makes me feel whole
