A Poet's Anthem


If i think of something in my head and like the way it's flowin' I take the pen and paper out to keep the lyrics going and ... No I don;t write just to simply waste ink I illustrate my passion just to make people think I am... not like others who just write lies to lines I poetically speak truth that's fresh off my mind A prayer , a journal, or maybe just my mood it doesn't matter it will all end up on my college rule I like to read but I don't get inspiration from Langston Hughes I'm Ayanna - not trying to be the next Maya Angelou I just have a passion to imagine my action with a pattern & these words just feel complete like when Even completed Adam See, Nobody has to feel me when I'm feeling myself & as long as I have a brain I have a story to tell & this poetry thing doesn't have to bring any wealth but the pen when stay in my hand until my very last breath. Now that's . . That's, my poetic anthem.
