Secret Of The Poet, By: Keith Eagle


  • I started writing poetry to express the tough times I had.
  • Knowing that deep inside I was really mad.
  • About the loss of my childhood friend.
  • Sitting beside him on the curb telling him to, "hang on" knowing this is the end.
  • Of his life, wishing I could've done more.
  • Thinking about his mom was eating at my core.
  • I wrote my first, and titled it "Why You?"
  • To shine light on the hard feelings, and this is true.
  • That I lost him at his own evil fight.
  • Is the reason I say a prayer every single night.
  • I made a promise to pour respect on the Earth he use to walk.
  • And go see him yearly to sit and talk.
  • Deeply about how much I miss him, and will continue to show it.
  • This is the secret of Keith Eagle the poet.
