I Leave Poetry In Library Books


I leave poetry in library books 
Why you ask ? And For what you plead?
But its the ink that my pen bleeds
And the words of my true poetry 
THAT CAN stretch a smile across the horizon
THAT CAN uplift a head held down 
Yes I leave poetry in library books 
But my reader leaves with confidence, encouragement, and the realization of how picking up and that pen and letting your emotion flow to the ink that drips and scripts all over your blank sheet of paper will help you escape that blank piece of shit we call life 
The poetry I leave is to re assure 
THAT there is a better tomorrow
THAT there is still hope 
THAT giving up shouldn't be easy
THAT nothing is impossible 
 I leave poetry....... I leave poetry......... I leave poetry in library books 
Because no one left them for me 
No one thought it was important (how surprising) 
To those people who escape through books I'm here for you 
I'm here to leave those poems for you 
So you know that whenever you feel alone, feel like no one is listening or understanding , or like your about to explode 
You can walk down to your library 
Open any book you please
And there will be poetry 
Your new friend not enemy .
