i am creative and i have created
a space to tell my story to those
who are willing to listen through
the cracks in my voice and the sound
of my shaking tongue
i have filled my mind with words
and i live through sound and song
because the peace it brings
chokes out pain and suffering
i have erased and replaced archaic
thinking with a freshly planted flower
that continues to grow with time
now that i understand my words
are not always a crime
i am a poet
and every day i choose to be
i choose to create and build
this little world of mine
come with me.
