Inspired my Amberly's Me Poem.....Amber, Thanks for the inspiration!
I didn’t claim poetry
Poetry claimed me
It wrapped me up
And seduced me
At the tender age of three
I didn’t claim poetry
It claimed me
It called my name
While inside my mother’s womb
It nurtured me
And cuddled me
And wrapped me up in its cocoon
I write because of submission
It is my therapy
The only thing that allows
Me to maintain my sanity
I didn’t claim poetry
Poetry claimed me
With intoxication
For words medication
No need for translation
It be my sedation
I know no other way
It is the ex-pression
Of WHO I BE
I live for it
Die without it
And strive to perfect it
I be the muse
To the ink
The pen be the tool
To express me
Poetry is WHO I BE
I didn’t claim poetry
Poetry claimed me
It wrapped me up
And seduced me
At the tender age of three
I didn’t claim poetry
It claimed me
It called my name
While inside my mother’s womb
It nurtured me
And cuddled me
And wrapped me up in its cocoon
I write because of submission
It is my therapy
The only thing that allows
Me to maintain my sanity
I didn’t claim poetry
Poetry claimed me
With intoxication
For words medication
No need for translation
It be my sedation
I know no other way
It is the ex-pression
Of WHO I BE
I live for it
Die without it
And strive to perfect it
I be the muse
To the ink
The pen be the tool
To express me
Poetry is WHO I BE
