A discovery


Travyvon Martin and Mike Brown helped me find poetry,

Overwhelming emotions controlled me and took hold of me,

Until I wrote my thougthts out for the world to see,

A pathway to discover the inner me,

The inner g that lies within me,

But more than just a relief,

Most poetry's the truth, and best believe it didn't need to be said in a boot,

For it to affect my soul, so forget about the money when you in the booth

Forget that money stand upt and tell the truth and see what rhyming can do for you
