Freedom Of Free Verse
its funny how in a america there is freedom of speech
and funny how in literature there is poetry
and funny how in poetry there is free verse
as an american i will excercise my right to speak
as a poet i will excercise my right to write
so lets begin
in the deepest corner of my mind lies lies
in the open space of my heart lies truth
in the unknown regions of my emotions lies insecurity
in the well known valleys of my attitude lies commitment
i be whom i should be and change for no one
i write what i feel and not what you want me to feel
i think what is for me to think and care nothing of what you think
i cry when i feel and not when you think you've made me feel
you whom are there have taught me
you are the and will disgust
you are there and will discuss me
you are there and will learn from me
you are there and will follow after me
you are there and will betray me
you are there and will not know me
you whom are the will NEVER control me
truth is in me and that will never change
love is in me and i dont want it to change
life is in me and that will never change
strenght is in me and i dont want that to change
wisdom is in me and i want it to change you
change is in me and that will never change
this talk of new beggining
this talk of love
this talk of truth
all this talk but no action
what a disappointment
WAIT
im not thru
how can you live with yourself
you have defiled yourself:
mind
body
soul
and spirit
what a waste
