iWrite

I wanna write about stuff

Like, I wanna write how I see others write

How I used to write

I wanna write about the things that only I and everyone else in the world understand

And make them clap their hands

Forgot that it's poetry

And snap their fingers

I wanna write about the stuff I could never find words to write about on paper

And make people bump hard as shit to shit that doesn't exist

I wanna write the moment and erase time

I wanna let people in without doing it directly

So they can get to know me but, not test me

I wanna write to take me to the source

Every stroke, every course

I gotta write for my sane composition

The pen speaks for me when the world doesn't listen

And when I write about stuff

The world pays attention

It's almost like writing's my divine mission
